Hard to fathom just how unbelievably fast this has gone!
Whilst I can’t say this whole challenge has been totally rewarding with having to fight off demons & jump big hurdles, I’m so proud of myself that I made this life changing decision not only for myself but my family as well & I stuck to it…..yay for me!
One of the best choices I have ever made.
I'm not going to lie, I still feel the urge to have one at times & the smell of a freshly lit cigarette smells amazing, but those temptations last as quick as a blink of the eye & I go back to life as an ex smoker again.
I'm sure there were a few who never thought I would get this far but it's those few that made me even more determined to succeed & succeed I did.
I'll be here same time, same place next year to praise myself yet again & to praise all of you for making this amazing decision.

Congratulations Ronyag and you should feel proud. I just thoroughly enjoyed your post and it rang so true and real to my ears. Good for you!!!!😊

Thanks Leeann. I hope you can (or have) follow suit too.
Thanks also Robn & Safe2017

Yes thank you Ronyag I am 138 days quit. I struggled really hard to quit but I am happy to have reached a place now where smoking is just something I used to do. 😊 Best decision ever and i love this website. I dont do social media but i love reading posts on here whilst relaxing, I find it keeps me focused to ensure I stay on track. When I read stories of people starting out on there journey and read there struggles it reminds me of my own battle and how hard it was for me and I draw strength to keep my guard up at all times.
