309th day for DH and 279th day for me of non-smoking today.

Saved over £1600 so far and feeling much better for it.

It really does get easier, best of luck to all those who are quitting right now.

Graciefer · 25/11/2007 23:01

Oh I haven't been counting the days like a mad women, just checked the quit smoking stopwatch/calculator that DH installed on the pc when he first quit

Wotzupnow · 25/11/2007 23:05

Well done to all of you who are staying off.
Harley gald to see you here

It's been a year for me now I gave up last Nov.
So much easier now. I can look at a smoker now and not actually want to inhale the smoke and have no wish to start again.

Tortington · 25/11/2007 23:14

thats great well done.

day one without a patch.

Tovik · 25/11/2007 23:16

oh please keep this thread going
i need to give up and have tried many times
it's exceptionally hard at three or four weeks i've found, once the euphoria wears off
all the best to you, want to see how you get on

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 25/11/2007 23:17

Seeing this thread has just reminded me that its nearly 2 years since i stopped smoking. Am so glad i did.

Good luck to those who are stopping.

harleyd · 26/11/2007 09:33

sophiewd · 26/11/2007 09:41

Magdelanian · 27/11/2007 12:03

By Xmas you will be cured of the addiction. So keep going or you'll have to go through it all again.
