Feeling like a non smoker

For those of you who are struggling, remind yourself that its not necessarily how many days its been, its when you can get through each minute of a craving then stretching to each hour. We are all in this together and it is a huge journey. This is a life changing decision and certainly not an easy one but I find all of your stories inspiring and make me realise that I am not on my own during the hard times. I got through my first weekend with the kids and found it difficult and my patience was really tested, so I got in the kitchen and cooked. Ive been reading recipe ideas and look forward to cooking healthy meals instead of smoking. When I wake up, take a deep breathe and not cough, I realise how unhealthy I used to be. Is is the best decision I have made and hope you all stick to it as hard as it may be at times.

Hey Mum of 2, your comments ring so true. I find the stories and comments on this site so true. And I thoroughly agree about when you wake up and there is no cough - it's fantastic :)
hey mum of 2 - excellent thought patterns - when it comes to kids hubbies and everyone else lol remember its the nicotine withdrawal causing the lack of patience
