Its all in the mind...

I have just logged on to say hi and check in with everyone - I have been a non smoker for 87 days!!

Last week for no particular reason I thought a bout having a cigarette most of the day - not that I was craving just out of habit I think - but NO BLOODY WAY!!

I have started running eventually to 5KM with a friend and feel awesome - my lung function is improving everyday and I have so much energy. I can pretty much say my whole lifestyle has changed and so have my network of some friends (the smokers) and social life but thats okay you know?

Confession: I do enjoy the smell of cigarette smoke and seem to smell it a mile away although the after smell, the staleness and revolting breath on people is stomach churning, and YES I am now enjoying the taste of bourbon and coke like I never knew before.

So to ramble on but I hjope for you newcomers reading this - dont give up, ride out the crappy times it is so empowering and such an acheivement and its true your willpower hgets better and better - dont let it beat you!

Stay strong peeps ;)
