AB just think how much you have changed everyone's life for the better. I bet if they really sat and thought about it they would be so proud.

Hey Karri they are I think, every now and again one of them goes "hey you still not had a fag?" and look surprised. They're soon getting used to it, so that's good too

Ah Shelly that sucks, 87 days is a long time, you still miss them and think about them that much? I must just be lucky I guess...I wish you well, it's because of your posts among others too that I've got to where I have and you deserve better

Thanks AB

I don't really miss them or hardly crave them it's the anxiety that iv had since quitting. Just wont go. Or it Wud be a brill quit. As there is things that are better like my hands are so much better now got carpol tunnel and had to wear splints in bed do t have to now. Breathing better. But that's all.the only thing that's stopping me is business school as I started as a non smoker. Wud be totally emmbarising smoking. But I'm done in 2 weeks or so. And me lovely white teeth. But the anxiety killing it

I am thankful that I have saved £827.98 and the decorators are coming next week
I am thankful that in the last 3 days I can again enjoy eating. Only took 9 weeks of everything tasting terrible.
I am thankful that I only feel sad occasionally and the anxiety attacks are getting less and less.
I am thankful that I never crave for a cigarette.

I am very disappointed that I have less energy than I had before quitting.

That said, I thought I would never enjoy food again but I do now and some things even taste better. I have come to believe that I will get more energy eventually.

I would have been 12 weeks quit today if I hadn't had that one bad day and went back to day one.

18. My car's clean and tidy, no rizla packets, plastic filter strips or ash.

Reading this one line actually got me excited!! I'm booking a day off work to clean my car...because I am sad and a clean freak and because my car is boggin!!!! I thought smoking with the windows down would mean the car didnt smell of smoke....after 5 days of not smoking I jumped into the car and realised how wrong I was

Plastic filter strips....ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Evil evil little things! Plus roll up ash is as controllable as a jelly ball on a flippin vibro plate it goes everywhere!!!!

OoooH!! Cant wait to have a clean car (claps hands excitedly)
