Day one!

Smoked my last ciggie yesterday afternoon, now have none in the house to tempt me, have washed the ashtray and put away the lighters!!
Today so far so good, using gum and mini tabs, went to bed early last night as all I could do was think about fags lol. At work today and don't smoke at work anyway so it will be easier. Have started to compile a list of jobs to do at home when the craving gets tough and have also started to knit my friend a shawl for her baby which is due in January, must stay positive and not succumb to the cravings this time!!!!!!!!!

Knitting is a great pastime. You actually have a beautiful creative product for your meditative efforts. I took up knitting to help me quit smoking. It helped me with my mental health problems. I have cut down too.
When I started knitting a ball of wool cost more than a packet of cigarettes. Now I have taken up gardening and cooking as well. Sometimes I draw too.
