16425 days...

That's how many days I have been a smoker. I am up to day 50 of stopping. So I will always be a smoker, just have chosen to stop. I remind myself that a non smoker, someone who has never smoked, will be unlikely to think they may like to light up... No matter how many days I have been smoke free, I often hear my craving suggesting I should reward myself for abstaining. Fortunately my craving has a name. Margaret Thatcher! She often has to deal with some expletives as I refuse to cave in to Hera devious suggestions. Now, if the craving was mine alone, there's no way I would say no. This has worked for 50 days, cold turkey...

HI Lia I have nothing but ADMIRATION for you going cold turkey. I forgot to put a patch on yesterday morning and felt FERAL. So your achievement is huge. I love the Margaret Thatcher idea, whatever works Hey. Once again Well done. I love your posts. Stay strong. I have to post each day to keep myself accountable. x
