I have won........

my first smoke free day as have given up smoking today and it is driving me mad. Had to share it with you all as is rather a achievement to me as have been smoking for 18 years. So hopefully this prize will be a good one once I have got past the withdrawl as am only using willpower.
I know it isnt really a win to you all but to me it is. xxxx

    Very well done. That's brilliant. I gave up with just will power when a good friend of mine, who was a smoker and used to say lung cancer was just a scare, died of lung cancer. I have to admit I was tempted on more than one occasion and once I gave in and bought a pack of herbal cigarettes. After coughing my heart up after a few puffs they ended in the bin and that was that. It is hard but stick to it - it is worth it. Lots and lots of good wishes.
