I've begun a journey I'm determined to continue.

I'm just entering week 5 of quitting cigarettes, I've kept my journey fairly quiet, I don't want people asking 'bet you're really craving a cigarette now, aren't you?' I feel great, I can take a deeper breath than I did, without the crackle. I've binned everything smoking related, I haven't smoked in my house for over 10 years, but only today did I get rid of my 'butt bin', it was the final step in my liberation from smoking and so far, I've saved over £200!

Anyone else making the same journey...congratulations, stick with it!

    Well some mate. You are an inspiration.

    I haven't stop anything yet, and so much I would like to celebrate my 5th week smoking free.

    I am trying to stop everything smoking related and those are:

    Coffee

    Weed

    Alcohol

    I'm trying so hard. But I think nicotine is the worst.

    I have a cigarette as soon I open my eyes in the morning then coffee and cigarette again.

    All the best

      I'm still a quitter! I'm proud of myself, it's really not as hard as you think.

    Huge congratulations on your achievement, no mean fete. Youll soon wonder why you didnt do it years ago! Im almost 3 years stopped, occasionally still fancy one, but most of the time I dont even think about them. Stay resolute and enjoy the many benefits. X
