. . .I quit smoking!

I cant believe I've been smoke free for 2 weeks now.  I'm already reaping soooo many benefits, the cash for one, it soon mounts up doesn't it!  My skin feels better too, its not dry and spotty anymore, it's well moisturised and smooth, wierd the things smoking actually does to you.  Also my breathing is soooo much better, I've not even had to use my asthma pump or take the pills since my last ciggy.  My house smells sooo much better, and yes I can actually smell and I can taste things too.

I do struggle in the evenings sometimes when I've nothing to do (I'm on my own) and I've had a couple of bad days but besides that I'm getting there and it's not been as bad as I expected.  I think this time I was really ready to quit.

Wow you have every right to be proud honey that is soooo fantastic!

You have done amazingly well and have been so strong through this and your kids must be so proud of you. You are setting such a brilliant example and are raising them in a happy healthy enviroment and will be able to afford to do so much more with them.

Keep it up - and try to find something to focus your mind in the evening - have you thought about doing a home study course from learn direct or similar? Take you mind of things and help you move your life forward even more!
