OctoQuits

Hi all, still here after 3 years - I would never have believed it. My thanks to all of you for helping me change my life

Hello

Louise, lovely to see you post your continuing smoke freedom. How you doing?

Hello all
Hope you are all good ! Trying to catch up with Pol

Ooo look it's nearly October! The 4th October I have been a non smoker during, and 3 years quit!
And now we have "Stoptober" - which is obviously named after us!!! Hope everyone's well xxx

Hi Jack great to see you! And looking good JJ - I'll have to post a more recent pic of me, I'm still 2 stone down and now have red/pink hair to go with my mid-life crisis!

At the moment I'm suffering from my first chest infection in 2.5 years - it's strange, it's not that bad - quite like the smoker's cough that I used to have most of the time. Also, the feeling JUST before I'm about to cough feels a lot like what I remember a fag craving to feel like - only I don't need to smoke (although I have to admit I've wanted to a couple of times!)
Hope everyone's doing well xxx

I posted on Day One !!!!!!! hope all is good people x

*wolf whistles* at JJ Belated b'day wishes to you, hope all bruising and soreness now gone. Looking great xx

I put an 'after' pic up from when I was out for my 60th birthday meal. There's still a bit of bruising and lumps and bumps but if I spend about 2 hours with the ole makeup it doesn't look too bad!!!

Merry belated Christmas fellow Octo's - that's 3 of 'em with no fags now, GO US!!!!!
I am pleased to report that after putting on a total of 1.5 stone after quitting, I have lost TWO stone so am in better shape than when I started! (Although I probably have a bit more xmas dinner to work off hehe!)
JJ hope your bruises and swelling are going down nicely - yes, post a pic!

Everyone else - have a GREAT 2012!!!!!!!Xxx
