    OK only day 2 for me. But it is day 2.

    You will all know the various feelings, but for a laugh the daftest one for me has been a strange feeling of loss of balance best related to me

    - completely missing the pedal on the pedal bin first time around,

    - then hitting it so hard it was like the cymbals crash at the end of the 1812 overture

    :D

    well mf one thing you can say for quitting the ciggys it's never boring:D
  • Wow so many new names and quitters - great to see this thread is still affecting people lives and what a supportive group it nurtures!!

    Just wanted to let you all know that as a lifelong smoker and someone who claimed to enjoy (?) smoking I am now at 11 months and 4 days - only 3 weeks'ish until I reach my year.

    Well done to all the old, new and considering about it quitters - it really can be done!!

    Happy smoke free days.

    haha i was just thinking how amazing this thread was when i wondered what the thread of "starting to smoke" would be like :)

    "i've smoked six today, it was tough but tomorrow i can do seven"
    imagine how crazy that would be! this is why this thread is so amazing, it actually makes you see that to stop smoking is now a good challenge and has so many benefits. Have a nice smoke free day all

    Hey everyone,

    the sun is back :j

    Big congratulations to all you quitters, how very :cool: you all are !

    Great idea about a reversed thread jfox, how ridiculous that would be. Off topic a minute but my hamster has a new game : climbing up into the plant pot then burrowing into the earth, is this normal or is she having an identity crisis :confused: ?
