Hey there every-one, Its been a while since i last posted.. So much has happened in the past 214 smokefree days thats kept me pretty busy. I welcomed into the world my 3rd grandchild, a healthy little boy on 11/11/2013 named Eli. As his mum ( my daughter ) is 17 she lives at home with us. So we have been more than busy with the little bubba. I have to say its a great distraction from smoking. I...

Yeap thats right, Day 101 and $1616 in my virtual bank account ( I Honestly should have put that money into a real account, but No i didnt) Its been one huge road, looking back from here to day 1. I have to say I like the new healthier me so much more than that old smoking me, I love what and Who I am now, I look back at that Nicotine addict and feel pity, we all know what Im saying here. Im a...

Hi everyone,  Well slow and steady wins the race as they say.. I have made it to day 63 which is also 2 months and 2 days,, Yeap Go Me :) It seems so far away from day 1, there have been times when Ive wanted a ciggie more than anything else, the cravings still come and go but I guess we learn how to deal with them so that they dont take centre stage in our day, The moods have settle down ...

49 DAYS smokefree today ( 7 Weeks ) on this insane Quit Trip. I have apparently saved $784 , Which is of course a positive. I have to say this last week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, The cravings seem to be more intense and seem to be coming more often. Of course Im not going to give in BUT OMG i came so incredibly close a few days back, I keep some Nicobate chewy and lozengers in ...

Feeling so much better, my skin is softer, teeth are whiter, Im sleeping better the positives from not smoking are huge,Its the best feeling to not have cigarette's controlling my life anymore, Im pretty much over the concept of smoking and the dependency that comes with it. So here's to our new...

Day 21 / 3 weeks, Yahoo!! Well the Journey so far has been mostly smooth, I've had a few full on cravings, But hey we've got to expect that. I bought some Nicorette gum, I figure when the Cravings are really bad and Im stressing about it,Its better to have some gum than light a ciggie. But apart from that Im on patches and that work great.. The majority of the time though, I forget about smoki...

I have made it to day 14 or better still 2 weeks smoke free.. Feeling pretty good and still determined to make this my last quit attempt. Well the last couple of days have been trying, been thinking about smoking alot. Apart from that, I forget I smoke. I guess we call those cravings- lol. I just distract myself and keep busy. I think its those times of boredom or when we're relaxing that the li...
