Hi all I've got to 1 week and feel great.

 

Had a lovely weekend, enjoyed the party so pleased that I went as if was a fun night.

 

The walk with the dogs was a really eye opener for me, I never realized how much the smoking used to control my walks, working out when I could be able to stop for my next smoke, not being able to walk for long without having to stop for a break.

 

The dogs and I had a wonderful time, walked a lot further than I normally would and found that I had more time to look around and actually enjoy my surrounding. It would be true to say that when we got to bed last night we all had a lovely sleep.

 

So pleased that this time I seem to be so much stronger and the quit doesn't seem to be playing on my mind, getting myself prepared and ready for this really has helped, looking forward to 2 weeks

YOU are having a spectacular quit !  

The planning, the thought, the contingencies...all of these things you do insure success.

Your quit is a beautiful flower unfolding.

Everyday will bring new delights but, don't be thrown off by a sudden crave out of nowhere...these are the dying embers of addiction. 

Stay vigilant and empowered and Have FUN.

Day 10, yes I've reach double figures

 

Had a bit of a bumpy ride yesterday, but got through it. 

 

Going well today, got the house sorted, cooked a big pan of leek and potato soap, made an apple crumble so now it time for lunch then out for a walk with the dogs.

 

I am feeling good and am finding that I have more time for things than I used to have.

 

Loving this smoke free life.

Yay, Day 10 !  Congratulations to you.  You did right yesterday, posting an SOS and i am so glad you powered through.

The craves and triggers will fade, you needn't fear them.  You have quit smoking !

Today, a brand new Smoke  Free Day.  Yum, leek/potato soup.

Have Fun and don't forget to reward yourself.

Well done D...your rockin...x

I love seeing your posts.......

 

You give me motivation.  

Day 11 nearing completion for you, D.  Congratulations.

I can imagine your family being So proud of you.

Hold on to your resolve and come here for lots and lots of encouragement.

You are a star.

Had a fabulous and productive day in the garden, moving plants and rearranging the lay out. 

 

Never had to stop to get my breathe like I normally would, and got a lot more done than I normally would,  loving all this new energy and life that this quit is giving me.

 

Hopefully its a nice day tomorrow do that I can sort out the front garden before the weather changes and winter begins.

 

Then I think it might be time to decorate the kitchen as I've been putting it of for ages, plus with the money I'm saving can get the wall paper that I want not the one I can afford, at this rate I will get all the things I have wanted to do completed in no time.

 

Loving my life at the moment couldn't be happier.

Brilliant post D..

It's unbelievable how much we spent on cigs..over my 52 years the amount would be mind blowing..

Enjoy your big pay rise.. ..
