1 year ago, I went to this homepage and joined the Ex-smoker community. 1 year ago my journey started with horrible cravings and desperate feelings that it never gets better. 1 year ago I started running away my urges out of desparation that I might smoke...

During my journey of not smoking, I got fitter (due to the running) and I got pregnant and now have a healthy boy wiggeling around the house..

What an amazing journey this has been- the decision to stop was difficult but it was worth every minute...

And yes, never again... never again these bad feelings of being smelly, not coping without smoke, the nervousness of having to smoke in very inappropriate moments, the money just flying out of your pocket, the cough in the morning and when doing sport.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined me in this journey and for all the newbies... It is so much more that stop smoking...! Its a life changer..

Hi andies. What a fantastic milestone. And the best reward is your son. And you will be a fantastic role model for your son not to mention being less financially stressed and distressed. No long term quitters here truly want to be on the site "alone". It is so good to know others are lasting the distance and reaping the benefits.
