Never Give Up!

Hi all, at 1st it was just another New Years idea of giving up smoking. I've been smoking for around 25 years. Kids have been increasing the pressure and my pathetic attitude finally rang true for Xmas. "Chest Pains for no reason". It's only been 3 days and by no means easy.
After promising by kids for the last year to kick the habit, hopefully this time it's for good.
On a slightly lighter note, I went to club this afternoon and had a few drinks. "No ciggis", I couldn't believe the disgusting smell when friends come in after a smoke. Is this what I've been like for the past 25 years.
Cheers,

Forget to mention, I've eaten more over the past 3 days than I've eaten over the past 3 weeks. No doubt, food is a mans best friends. However, this needs to be tamed sooner rather than later.

Well done Mark C 1202. .....well done on being 3 days, you have made a great start on a not so easy habit to give up.....but I congratulate you on your new journey, and yes you can do it. Be positive and determined.
Would like to hear more of your progressing journey as time goes by.

Congratulations - keep on going. Earring more is normal but it will be easy to lose weight if you have the determination to quit smoking. Brisk walks helped me so much in the beginning (still do). And they help with weight gain (partly!).
Well done.
