Day 2 nearly done! Im finding it quite difficult but managed to get through. Im hoping as the days go on it gets a little easier. Day 3 tomorrow just thinking one day at a time at the moment but am determined to keep going. Good luck to everyone.

Wow elfen!! That £3k is enough to put anyone onto quitting a bit smart! It's amazing what we've all set fire to over the years - but not any more!!!! :j I hope that last taste will be - the last taste as it'll only get worse and worse from here on. Well done though, elfen, you've still done remarkably well!!! :T

Another day notched up, Sally, well done for you, so much to be proud of. {Edit} A lot to be proud of when you help others too young Sally. Excellent work! :T:T

You are doing so well, xmercx and have come a good way. You've got good plans in order though..you'll be ok, it's not worth worrying about - honest! Keep thoughts of your Wedding in mind.

Brilliant stats JD!!! I love what you've got planned with the money, the kids'll love it - all 3 of you!!!!

Well done clementine, but can I draw your attention to the water, fruit and exercise and ........read the PM???! You're right though it'll soon get easier, just help yourself as much as you can! 2 great days behind you already though - a wonderful achievement!!! :T

Well done all, keep right on with quitting and sticking firm to it, it's never worth not doing so.

Thanks Hen for your encouragement, pleased to hear it gets easier after day 4. Cant wait!!!
Sue Thank you so much for your PM think I read it just at the right time, a sticky moment but it seemed to pull me through so a big Thank You. Drinking plenty of water seems to help.
Good luck to everyone and keep going.

Morning all! Stats for me:

£196.33 saved
788 not smoked :eek:
2days 17 hours and 40 mins of life saved

Wow - I not looked at my stats for a few days - and Jeeze I was shocked at the amount of cigs I have not smoked - that it sickening. The money doesnt really bother me as I always found money for fags - but the amount - bloody heck! Poor hubby - as a non smoker, its no wonder he often asked me when I was planning on giving up!!?!
I am finding it easier finally - and Im not dreaming about smoking which is helpful as you can imagine.

Hope everyone is doing well and keep up the good work!

Hiya Caz!!!!! :hello: SOOOO good to see you back with us! I've been wondering about you so much over the last week, so I'm thrilled to bits to see you back. So sorry to hear about the abscess though, I can honestly sympathise having had one several years ago and so bally painful!! It shouldn't be too bad with having it out, I had 2 taken out - one each side at the same time - a couple of years ago, but it wasn't as bad as I'd thought. I loathe the hairdressers (a childhood thing) and would sooner go to the Dentist any day!! Does that make me weird - or you?!! So many congratulations on having got a got to a MONTH away from fags, Caz and on earning yourself the title of a non-smoker!!!! :T:T:T I nearly PMd you a week ago, but was frightened it might appear pushy (as if!), but so pleased to see you again Caz!:j

Well done, Ads!! :T I hope the walk did you good yesterday, one thing's for sure, I'll bet you got some clean, fresh air into your lungs - great thought eh!!!

BTW, where's young Mat??! Quitting quietly on his own - I'm sure.

Such wonderful news, xmercx!!! :T I know how anxious you were, but it just goes to show how quickly you adapt to a better, healthier and cleaner way of living! Well done you and your OH of course! :T The days really do fly by too, keep on taking them a day at a time and you'll be so delighted, not that you aren't already!!
