So today is my first real day of non-smoking. So far so good. Was tempted after a visit to see my doctor (been diagnosed with kidney stones) but instead drove straight home. The bad news is chocolate and all things naughty are off the list of things I can eat now.....and even almonds which I eat a lot of.

Thank you for all your welcomes, its really kind of you. Onwards and upwards. :)

We have just finished watching The Killing (Danish version). Absolutely amazing. Will miss it so much. Love scandinavian dramas - The Bridge was great, Arne Dahl was good, Trapped (Icelandic) too. Also Spiral (a French series) was great too. Would love to know of any more good dramas to watch.....

its only been two hours, but thank you!

Thank you. :)

Hello. I'm new here. I smoked my last cigarette earlier today. I don't want to smoke anymore and I really need some support. I have given up before, once for nearly four years, but silly stressful times in my life got me started again. I have a real hard time forgiving myself for this awful habit I picked up, I feel so ashamed - I am a secret smoker too (although my partner does know). Each time I have stopped I find the first three days the worse, and then I'm usually ok. It just takes something stressful to happen and I pick it up again. I also suffer from anxiety and depression - a lot of my anxiety focuses around my health. Every time there is something wrong with me I think the worst. I have a hard time convincing myself that it isn't already too late. Anyway, thats me in a nutshell. I look forward to getting to know you all. xx
