Hi,
I'm on day 8 and have just signed up to this website, I had a bit of a wobble last night while having a few beers as well but I felt so good about myself for not giving in to the temptation.
I just can't wait until it's not the main thing that dominates my thoughts!!
Erm, just out of curiosity has anyone developed a sore jaw since giving up??
Well done everybody
Janie
Hi Waldd,
Thanks for that...hopefully it will just disappear and it's still a lot better than smelling of smoke!!
Top Gear and Grand Designs...good choice!! :)
Hi John,
Thank you, as you will know it's a mixture of good and bad days. I did have the opportunity yesterday of instead of just saying no when offered a smoke being able to say no, I don't smoke.... Now that was a good feeling!
I just hope that I have your willpower and can do as well as you

Hey Walt,
Good on you for staying strong! I am starting to notice that the periods in between cravings are starting to get further apart... It's been a while since I've had a really strong craving but like you I've got a couple of situations coming up this week that are going to be tough.
On the physical side of things... I feel like a wreck but I'm hoping that will also pass! I've been trying to diet at the same time but I've came to the conclusion after getting some really good advice that I should deal with one thing at a time. So I'm giving myself a free pass until I've been a non smoker for 4 weeks to eat what I want... Then I'll deal with the weight.
What was the main reason you decided that you and smoking were done?
Hey Walt,
I'm actually feel so much better after making the decision about food....it's like an extra pressure has been lifted.
My reasons for stopping are pretty similar, I do a fair amount of travelling with my job and I'm always the person that needs to go for a smoke in between flights etc. My main reason is that my friend is getting married in New Zealand next March and I'm presently doing up a house so funds were a little bit tight to save for the trip. Then it dawned on my that nearly £200 was literally going up in smoke every month so I'm now saving the £200 and putting it into my 'New Zealand Fund'
I'm feeling really positive about this week and although I've got quite a few difficult moments in the week ahead I'm really going to try my best.
It also helps being able to chat to people who are going through the same thing and also those with advice.
Hope all is well with you

Hi Lolly,
Thank you very much for your message.
I am taking each day as it comes and that definitely seems to help rather than worrying about things in the future.
Thank you for the support.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the email, all going well in not so sunny Scotland.
2 weeks down and still going strong.
Erm excuse my ignorance but what is 'Heck Week'?
Janie
Hi Jim,
Thank you clearing that up. :) nearly 3 weeks down and things are still going well!
I have noticed that the time in between thinking about smoking is getting longer and longer which is really good.
Hope all is well with you
Janie
Hi,
All is going well with me...30 days down.
I've had a couple of difficult moments but I'm determined that this is the one and only time that I will give up. I'm noticing a big difference in my fitness and general wellbeing.
Thank you everyone for all the support that you have given over the last 30 days and I'm looking forward to the next 30.
Hope you are all well.
Janie
