1 year and 40 kilos down!

Hi all, I haven't been on for about six months but thought I would just lend some support to those struggling in their journey. I quit last news years day and other than a 3 or 4 cigs when out drinking towards the beginning, I have been smoke free for a year. I used patches for the first two weeks and then was annoyed with trying to keep then on so went on to occasional sublingual tablets. Yes it was hard and yes I thought that there was no way I was ever going to stop missing 'my little friend'. I too went through the difficult day 50-60 where you think it is under control and then the craving rears up again for a week or so. 

After many attempts I can finally say this time worked and I very much think this site was a big part in that. And I have gotten to a place where I do think smoking is disgusting and can spend a whole evening drinking without wanting to go near them. After eating anything and everything for the first couple of months I started a weight loss program and have lost 40 kilos and my new 'addiction' is the gym and healthy living.

I was incredibly over weight and had been a pack a day for nearly 17 years, if I can do it I know you can, you deserve more than a life filled with poison xx
