Wow..Jonser, well done for giving it another go!!
You are finding yourself again...ther person who did things without a cigarette, and that takes time and adjustment. I know only too well what you are talking about - you need to discover everything you ever did since your early teens (which is just about everything), and relearn it without a smoke. Believe, it seems hard, but it is doable and each thing you reclaim as a non smoker is there for keeps!!
Every time you do something without smoking, put a great big tick there, and it's like it belongs now to the non-smoking you!! It feels great being able to go out for a pint WITHOUT A CIG....go for a coffee break....WITHOUT A CIG etc etc
You CAN do this....I have and it is such a great buzz to reclaim those things!!
It's a long haul, but the best advice I can give you is look for a positive in all these things, and stiuck around this forum - believe me it has been the difference between me failing and not failing!!
We are totally with you Jonser!!

Thanks everyone - the water is lovely, slightly on the warm side, not at all cold, just wonderful and the the smell in the air is just....well balmy and scented in the way only a beach can be....and absolutely NO SMOKERS here!!
The barbeque is going well with Redrosie organising the big beach party tonight, making sure no sand gets in the food..
Looking forward to seeing you all join me tonight, and if not, then in due course - I'll be waiting!!

285450 Dang........if it was me under the knife and the surgeon touched my lungs...they would have crumpled into one big pile of ashes! lol
I wonder just how long our lungs stay black? [/quote]
I have often wondered that. Does anyone know if they ever lose their blackness after quitting?

Hi everyone! I know I haven't been posting much lately, but that has been because I have so many other commitments on that the moment, I never seem to have enough time.
Anyhow, I noticed around my 100 days week, I had a LOT of cravings, however I am pleased to report that after I got through those days, and they were NO WHERE NEAR like the cravings I got early in my quit, maybe a bit like the 40 day drag, I have come into the easiest time of my quit ever. This is awesome, wow!!
Just wanted to share.
Anyhow, just coz I don't post so much, doesn't mean I've left or anything - I am still an ASH KICKER!!
