After 5 weeks not only my family are surprised , but most of all myself that so far there has been no turning back. Not much problems with cravings and have been around smokers and not received any demanding urges. However i refrain from these situations having regard to passive smoking. My problem i find is the habit because i still have the same daily routine where and when i smoked although i am slowly adjusting to most situations. I do not want to change my routine as i have to face these situations head on....minus the little devil between my fingers of course. I think in time i will be able to put the habits behind me and have the riutine and focus of a non smoker. We all have to keep going.

I am into my 10th week and experienced that craving. I used to join my friends at the roof tops in the night to chat and smoke the sticks. In my first week I was tempted to ask them for a few puffs since I had abandoned my packets and lighters but I held on to my quitting plan. Now I meet them at the same place but they are admiring me and are also in line to quit. I have become inspirational to most of my friends

well done and from what I have seen on my own journey is they are automatic sometimes the thought of a smoke in some situation but as time goes by they seem less but when they come are more intense for me. I have come to far to turn back and I am not going through this sh$t again !!

well done and keep it going !!

Well done, chaps, the nuisance of the cravings is annoying but stand fast and face the little bleeders with grit and determination. (Don't forget to use my brothers face, should you need to emotionally smack it :)). I have found myself thinking about smoking less and less and even when people are smoking around me I don't even consider how it would taste. The longer we do not smoke, the less we consider it.

Well done, keep it going and have a fantastic weekend.
