108 days and going strong

I was watching a hospital programme the other night (real life not drama) where the poor guy at 45 was told that radiotherapy was not reducing his tumour and now all they could give him was palliative care!! He was filmed during treatment still smoking. Then told he had months to live...You just never know when its your turn!! 108 days smoke free for me and I hope that i've quit in time and it's never going to be my turn.

You really never know when your numbers up. Even if tomorrow was my day I'm glad I stopped smoking before I went. The past 3 weeks have been a blessing, I feel invincible. Well done for your 108 days, you should be incredibly proud of yourself- gone on, have a smug day 😬

Never smug cuz the temptation is always there. Every day I think about "them" but it is easier every day to say no. Waiting for the day I don't give smoking a second thought. I tell myself it's just something I used to do and don't need it anymore :)

Gina, how very true the thought is never too far away. It is strange how everyone differs in there reactions, I'm with you, I hope I didn't leave it to long stopping smoking and I hope I never have to face what that 45 year old is facing. I can see why he still smokes, it is not going to make any difference now is why bother?

yes well done 108 days :)
life hey, I have learnt not to get to cocky as this thing has a way of taking that away in its own way.
determined for sure :)

Thanks everyone. I don't post too often but do read others posts every day. It helps to know I'm not alone. I was nagged and nagged at home by husband and kids to quit for years. And when I do quit, to them it's like I never smoked and it's not mentioned I've not smoked for nearly 4 months. Am I asking too much for a pat on the back lol. Sometimes I've felt like saying sod it, they don't care I might as well smoke but any excuse for the addict to go back to old ways. I have to do this for me. Ramble over 😀

Good god, 108 days out and you still think of THEM. What did they put in those nasty things to get us so hooked that we can't even get rid of it 108 days later? Drug and poison People for profit, what a World we live in. Then they do nothing to help us stop.

They gave me champix at a subsidised cost lol. I think of them but don't need them!
