I check on here a least once a day, if you keep posting it, does help that some one knows you are quiting the cigarettes then you have less temptation to go back, we have a thread on XGR as well. It can be found under Hugs And Support. James Green

Hi guys... Am on my 5th day, not tempted to have a fag at all, but just feel there's something missing.... Just been to Dr's tho as my chest hurts, he said its quite normal to have problems on giving up but also said I may have heartburn/indegestion....... Worked out I'll be saving about £30 per week, so have bought myself a cross trainer to help get in shape... :)xx

Hi Rach X, You must be feeling the benefits better skin, clean hair, not smelling of smoke, better breathing. It is not until you stop and you can smell the stink of a smoker and think I smelt like that. James

rachael love ....well done.i have every faith in you.you will whoop those fags .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Rach X ,not such a good friend if they encouraged you to smoke. That is the trouble with alcohol, it lowers your guard and Nic o'tine breaks through. still it is good that you did not continue, because once you start then 'I just have one more' and you are back to a full pack before you know it. James

nudge for non smokers

Hi Margaret, Dont worry too much about the extra weight,you have achieved a great thing. the weight is something that can be tackled later on. my hubby has put on 2 stone since stopping but his breathing has Improved greatly,he had a health check recently,his health has improved 100%,he has low blood presure and his Cholestrol is excellent. You should be proud of your self. best wishes Roxanne xx

Hi Margaret I hope I have spelt it right only it looks like a 'q' in there!! You can always reduce weight but you cannot replace lungs very easily, but your breathing must be better, you do not smell of cigarettes, you will be around for your children a lot longer just a few reasons, it will not be long before the year is up Debs glad to hear you are alright, I am regularly doing 4 turns of the block twice a day about 5 Km, I have a stopwatch and a pedometer to record the time and No. steps it also gives calories used and distance walked, the pavements are no very smooth so you have to be careful. I am also recording the results in a spreadsheet and it is easy to see if I am slacking!! James

James I have just passed the 7 months anniversary woohoo!! Sorry I havent been in touch but just had so much going on, I got the go ahead from my surgeon to start walking again and have not long got in from my walk (jog) I was out for an hour at a good pace this morning and plan on doing an hour every day, usually it has been about 2 miles so just going round in the car to clock it in a mo. Bought a new car a week ago (used) and no one will smoke in it! Anyhow my friend I look forward to hearing from you. Debs x
