Hi all, Sorry that I haven't been on for a while, but things have been hectic with the family, and I have not been able to get to a computer until today. My quit is going strong and I am feeling great. Have had a few bad days but been that busy have managed to get through them. Hope everyone well, will log on tonight to start catching up with everything.

NOPE

Had a great day, got so much done in the garden, a lot more than I used to and feel great. Never realized how out of breath I used to get, it just became the normal for me I think. Loving all the energy, feeling and overall happiness that I am feeling now that I have quit. Planning new projects to do now that we can afford them as I am no longer just burning our cash. Feeling great looking forward to the rest of my new smoke free life.

Had a fabulous and productive day in the garden, moving plants and rearranging the lay out. Never had to stop to get my breathe like I normally would, and got a lot more done than I normally would, loving all this new energy and life that this quit is giving me. Hopefully its a nice day tomorrow do that I can sort out the front garden before the weather changes and winter begins. Then I think it might be time to decorate the kitchen as I've been putting it of for ages, plus with the money I'm saving can get the wall paper that I want not the one I can afford, at this rate I will get all the things I have wanted to do completed in no time. Loving my life at the moment couldn't be happier.

Sunny today, time to get in the garden and get it all ready for winter.

NOPE

Have had to apologize to my family for my cooking tonight. Had made leek and potato soup like I have always done for years only to find that I have been adding way to much pepper and salt, also made an apple crumble with was way to sweet. They always ate everything I made and never commented (scary wife and mam haha) but tonight I have had to admit that being the only smoker in the family for me to taste anything I was always adding large amounts due to my lack of taste. So now I am going to have to watch what I am adding so much more and hopefully we will all enjoy it better.

Today, after a bumpy day yesterday I realized that I don't smoke because its what I want. Freedom from the nic demon and freedom to enjoy my life.

You will do this, take it one day at a time and enjoy the feeling that you are now in control of your life not the horrid nic demon

Day 10 Just got back from a walk with the dogs, feeling refreshed and not out of breathe like I used to be. Today is going well, got some leek and potato soup and an apple crumble made today, looking forward to trying them now that my taste has improved. Going to do a plan up for the garden as it need a major overhaul. Some that my new project to keep me busy over the next couple of weeks before the weather puts a stop to it (hopefully get a few weeks of good weather)

Day 10, yes I've reach double figures Had a bit of a bumpy ride yesterday, but got through it. Going well today, got the house sorted, cooked a big pan of leek and potato soap, made an apple crumble so now it time for lunch then out for a walk with the dogs. I am feeling good and am finding that I have more time for things than I used to have. Loving this smoke free life.

Happy Birthday

So true. This time I got myself ready for this quit with plenty of reading and research. I am having a much better time dealing with my quit because I know that its and addiction and not something that I need to survive. Going strong and getting through the bad patches.

NOPE

Struggled this morning but am still saying NOPE

Thanks everyone, I have got through it but need to find a way to deal with it if they are going to hit me first thing in the morning. This is the most hectic time of the day for me, so having to rethink my morning routine so that my mind is ready for it. Thanks again you are wonderful.

Day 9 Woke up this morning and all I can think about is having a smoke! not going to have one ever, but this craving is a strong one. Had a lovely day at Chopwell Woods both me and the dogs loved it. Walked a lot further than I normally would and could smell all the diferent plants that I have been missing for years. Going to get through this craving, no way am I going to give in. I am loving all the new things that I am now experiencing because I no longer smoke.

Woke up this morning and all I can think about is having a smoke! Everything was going well, not going to lose this quit!

Hi all I've got to 1 week and feel great. Had a lovely weekend, enjoyed the party so pleased that I went as if was a fun night. The walk with the dogs was a really eye opener for me, I never realized how much the smoking used to control my walks, working out when I could be able to stop for my next smoke, not being able to walk for long without having to stop for a break. The dogs and I had a wonderful time, walked a lot further than I normally would and found that I had more time to look around and actually enjoy my surrounding. It would be true to say that when we got to bed last night we all had a lovely sleep. So pleased that this time I seem to be so much stronger and the quit doesn't seem to be playing on my mind, getting myself prepared and ready for this really has helped, looking forward to 2 weeks

Half way though day 6 and feeling good, I'll got a sore throat but thats fine. Got a loveley ring given today as a reminder to keep breathing when its getting tough. Going out tonight but driving so that I won't loss my strenght to get through this. Going out with hubby tomorrow, so it will be long lesurely walking through the woods with the dogs, and breathing deeply to smell all the things that I have been missing.

Hi all, well half way through day 6 and feeling good. My throat is still sore but I can cope with that. Going out to a family surprise party tonight, was dreading going at first but my brother in law popped round (he quit last year) and gave me the ring in my profile picture. He said that if the cravings got to bad for him he just went out side and just breathed deeply until it passed, he thought that the ring was very fitting for me at the present moment. I have decided to volunteer to be the driver tonight that way I can't drink and it will help me to keep my quit strong, I know that is I drink it will be so easy to say I'll just have one!!!! Looking forward to day out with hubby tomorrow the weather is meant to be lovely for walking through the woods and breathing deeply here I come.

NOPE

Day 5 Well today I woke up a lot earlier than I normal would, but felt great. Had my breakfast and then planned what I need to do today. I have a slight cough but I think that is because my body is starting to get rid of all the muck out of itself. I am feeling so good today and hopefully it will continue.

NOPE for the rest of my life

Think this is appropriate for me at this moment in time :D
