Day 20 for me and life is GOOD


This morning, for the first time ever, I can honestly say that I am not scared of the thought of never having a cigarette again.

:dance: :dance: :dance:

How wonderful is that???



Have we lost a few on the way? Hope that everyone is doing well and if anyone is struggling or has fallen off the wagon come on in, there is plenty of support for you here!

The nausea, horrible coughing up, sleeplessness and headaches (for some) are all so natural and will soon pass, as will the strange dreams.

Sue.

I had my 1st weird dream last night apparently, I say apparently 'cos I know nothing about it :A OH told me this morning I leapt outta bed and was looking out the window with a petrified look on my face before just walking back and getting calmly into bed again!

Great stuff MFD, can't wait for that feeling myself.

Hope everyone has another smoke free day-coming up on 3.5 days off 'em for me, feeling good about it as well!

Morning to you too T73,

I'm fine, doing some housework for the OH and waiting for the boilerman to come and fix my boiler. Haven't had a patch on now for 3 days and the urge to kill is subsidiing now!

Well done on not smoking after getting bad news, a few years ago when my father passed away my older brother didn't smoke during the wake/funeral and he said he knew he'd never smoke again if he was able to get through that, so well done you!

As for the boozing I'd suggest making sure your friends are well warned in advance not to let you out of their sight for a second-keep you on a tight leash and follow you everywhere, I've a wedding tomorrow and that's what I've advised everyone to do, I'm getting the best man to announce it as well so nobody will help me out even if I want!

I'm off to the pub tomorrow, think i'm just gonna take enough cash to buy a couple of drinks and leave my card at home, that way I can't get any even if i wanted some!

Good idea with the card! If it helps I had to go to someone's leaving party not long after stopping. It was the first time I'd been in a pub since the smoking ban and although I did think of having one, I managed as it's no longer all around you as it was pre-ban.

Recently I've looked around me when generally out and about and rarely see anyone smoking. Not only is this a non-reminder so to speak but I also wonder how others would react if I should light up. Kills the craving for me.

Well done everyone and thanks, I've found this thread a great encouragement.
