Today I reclaimed the ability to do a mega house clean (for a friend's house-move) and not have cig breaks - she and her husband still smoke...well I was there all day, and managed to make do with a cup of tea instead of the oldstyle reward of a cig and drink...and managed just fine!! Yeah - another thing reclaimed from the nico-nasty!!

Ok, we are in the process of reclaiming our lives from the clutches of nicotine, and this as I'm sure you will recognise, is a step by step process. After the initial quit, it is a time of taking territory back. So I'm going to use this thread to list some the things I have reclaimed, and more as they happen (feel free to post your reclamations too)... I have reclaimed my home I have reclaimed after meal times I have reclaimed morning coffee I have reclaimed barbeques (in my dreams lol) to be continued....

I have reclaimed my white(r) teeth. My mouth tastes better and I know it sure looks better when I look in the mirror! I've also reclaimed my breath! I can run up and down the stairs now...twice even, without getting winded! N.O.P.E.
