THINK OF IT AS STARTING, !!! A new life feeling healthier, giving yourself more money, use it to take yourselves out for a fabby meal or something, and you wont have to go stand outside in the rain to have a smoke,, you can just relax and sit in the warm and enjoy your meal  You are going to have a fab holiday with all the money you used to spend on cigs  at certain times you need to replace your ciggy time,, like i always sat at the kitchen table with my first morning coffee and had a ciggie ,,, but when i quit i was just sitting there staring in to space  so now i take my coffee in the living room and turn on the morning news |
Thats so true... finding ways to distract yourself. I know you quit cold turkey and I really admire you for that. I did actually give up once for 7 months and I was so proud of myself but It all went wrong as It was the time Pete needed Major sugery for the cancer last time round. I started slipping and began hiding packs of ten around the house from Pete. One a day turned into 5 and then 5 turned into 20. There is no such thing as just having one is there?
My patio is very sheltered and I've got furnature out there so It's quite Inviting to go sit out there even in this weather. Be strong Julie.... be strong !!!!
Actually, I nearly bloody died about ten years ago from a Pulmery Embolsim ( Blood clot on the lung). After my lung scans, they told me they were astonsished that I had the lungs of a non-smoker. My Doc is furious they told me that as he said that just gave me the green light to carry on. He said they should never have said that to me at the time. Yet, my sister who never ever smoked or drank, died of cancer, same with my Father.
