One week not smoking

Today is one week smoke free I'm so happy. Wish I'd done it years ago. Really had a craving after I finished work last night. But I used my willpower and didn't have one. Partner smokes and I hate the smell on him. Breathing in his smoke gives me a dizzy head I try and stay away from him when he lights up.

Well done for not giving in last night Kathy. My husband smokes too and last night he had one before bed.The smell Its gross,i had to roll over because I couldn't breathe that in, and that's just after 1 day of not smoking....I hate to think how its going to be in a month lol

We have to ne an inspiration to them. My partner is so proud of me. I smoked a lot more than him 26 a day he smokes 10 a day. More with drinking or stress. He wants to quit but he's not ready. It's up to the individual. I'm so glad I finally did it.

My partner is try to quit with me n has dropped from say 20 a day to 3 or 4. He too stinks when he walks back into the house - yuck. When I smoked, just 3 days ago, I knew I also stunk of the vile smell so out came the perfume, mints, washing hands n anything else but I knew the stench was still there. We'll done to you for keeping strong n positive

Thank you ur so kind. Now I have to use that same willpower to lose weight I'm at least 20 kilos overweight before I quit. If I can quit smokes I know I can lose weight. To be honest I did join the gym in may I gave up. Always out of breath etc. Well I'll try again as a non smoker. MOTTO NEVER GIVE UP.LIFE Is TOO SHORT. And I wasted years of mine smoking and waisting all that money and health for what really. Cause I was addicted to a terrible evil drug. Brainwashed by tv back in the day. I'm 50 everyone smoked then. It wad sooo cool then. Now a lot of friends and relatives are dead. Yes lung cancer. I do not wanna die young.

Hi mates day 10 had a drink tonight didn't smoke. Partner smoked no desire too never again yuck.

Hi Kathy you are Awesome!!! Looks like you got that willpower down:) Now don't look back...keep moving forward. Take deep breaths in n out when you have cravings it helps :) try walking for 30 mins as well whenever possible. Good job.

Went to the royal adelaide show yesterday. Spend 200 had fun. All the money I saved from not smoking. Partner had to keep finding special smoking areas to smoke. I didn't have that worry lol. 2 weeks today non smoker. I can really do this. I feel fantastic yeah. Thank you for you kind words.
