3 month now

3 month ago, I had my last cigarette. It feels years away!
Live is just so amazing without the smoke. First of all I saved over a 1500 AUS! Also, I am still going strong with going jogging and climbing.. Whereas before, I was lazy now I can't wait to get out and be in nature... It s just such an amazing chance of life..
My partner asked me recently if I am still thinking of having a smoke.. Well indeed I have- once in a while, I remember how relaxing it was to sit outside and have my puff- but then honestly, I also remember the hundert more times, when I did not enjoy it. When I just needed the cigarette and then rushed for other things to do.... so well.. urges yes, but right now, feeling strong of coping well... For all the once starting: Be aware that it gets so much easier after a while..

Well done Andies, 3 months is a goal I'm looking forward to reaching:) Like you, I also miss sitting outside puffing on a cig, but I also remember how many times I'd stub one out telling myself how disgusting and horrible it tasted. I knew how stupid I was to continue spending good money on such a dumb habit that had no positive effect on me whatsoever other than feeding my addiction. Coming up to 3 weeks now and I have no cough, no phlegm, no smelly clothes, bed or car. I walk more, I sleep well, I eat well (too many treats but that'll be under control soon), I drink alcohol way, way less, and generally feel heaps better about myself. There will be no going back for me.

Hi Andies, you have done so great,
major hi 5s to you...
