    Found today difficult. DH and the boys have been out all day and normally I only smoke outside so even though I had the usual rounds of housework to get through I just felt bored all day because I wasn't wandering in and out! Will have to get back into my gardening again so at least I see the neighbours when I'm home alone.

    Forgot how much time you have when you don't stress about fitting a fag in.

    Oh and my skin is looking lush at the moment. The grey tired look is definately disappearing :)

    Same here I feel really weird m
    Not going out for a fag. At a loss what to do,like

    Your senses of taste and smell will improve, your breath is fresher, your teeth are cleaner and your energy levels higher.


    Definitely cleaner mouth , kind of goes without saying, and energy levels up but in a really annoying manic way.

    Morning all. It's day 8, doesnt' time fly!

    Feeling pretty good for not having one, although yesterday I was really tempted.

    How's everyone getting on?

    Day 9

    Are we all still hanging in there?

    we have this to look forward to: 10 days to 2 weeks Recovery has likely progressed to the point where your addiction is no longer doing the talking. Blood circulation in our gums and teeth are now similar to that of a non-user.

  • What day are we on now? (will catch up in a mo). Very suprisingly still smoke free. Skin looks lush but I am still very topsy turvy.

    Keep going everyone. To be blunt, why pay out so much tax to the goverment and then pay NI on top. or what about, its lush to have a winter coat that actually doesn't stink of dirty ashtrays.

    We can do this xxx
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
