Hallo!
21 and a half hours and still going well. I've eaten lots of tomatoes, but they're cheaper than ciggies LOL.
I definately feel chesty today. My chest feels like it's actually itching deep inside, if you know what I mean? This is gonna get better though. I look forward to not hacking in a morning when I wake up!
How's everyone else doing?Proud to be dealing with my debts :T

Lunchtime over and done.... didn't even think about smoking till I got back in the office doh!!!
Hawthorn youre doing great, that Itchy feeling is the hairs growing back, to keep the nasty stuff out, when you smoke you kill them and they only come back when you stop.0 -

Hi everyone. OK another day on non smoking completed. Great news, did not smoke last night with my smoking buddy. He is off to the hyponotist (splling?) - it was great sitting there smelling his second hand smoke though

Today, big car jouney, left home at 06.00 and just come back ....and no smokes again. There were certainly a few times where I really fancied 1 though!!
Congrats to everyone, hello Hawthorn, glad you joined! Keep posting wanna - you are doing brilliantly and I am reading!!0 -
