had to have a 1 hr MRI last week. Being claustrophobic & having breathing troubles when on my back had me very worried (panic stricken), 1 hr in the machine, dozed off & the time passed quickly. Realised later, I have not been able to lie on my back & breathe through my nose for years - did for one hour in the machine. Only 20 days smoke free & I can do this!!

thanks Robin, just find I have to keep moving - used to read a book a day but can't now as sitting on the veranda with a book used to mean a beer & at least 1 packet, early days, I'll be back there soon

Hi dpen, yes keeping busy is the best way if youre still you'll just want to eat so keep those hands busy. 20 days is fantastic, you are doing great! Stay strong and focused 😊
