17 weeks smokefree for me.
Only once in all that time have I thought..."I'd love a ciggie right now"
That thought was followed immediately by "Whatever for?? I'm a non smoker"
Good on you, keep it up!

Been 3+ weeks now, had 1 puff to show myself what i was actually inhaling and felt no desire to smoke after that puff. Lost track of the days, though after a bloody hard service in the kitchen there is still the want for one.
A little more money left now :-)

I've been watching this thread with interest. I've also "tried" to give up dozens of times, but this time I've decided to actually give up.
The last time I tried was with patches and gum, but like always found myself smoking again. So I made the smokers promise next time will be for real.
Believe or not being a professional smoking giver upper had benefits of hindsight, and I actually learned a few things that are helping.
1) I promised myself my next visit to the quack would include a request for Champax (no they don't have strings...well not anymore anyway) It's now coming up to day 14 on the course and tomorrow is rip up the ciggies day.
2) I promised my daughter and son(not myself) I would be smoke free before her 10th birthday, which is the begining of August.
3) I didn't tell anyone I was quitting (until now) so there was no other pressure from anyone else. (being a freedom of choice thought, I'd like to think having my last smoke was as much my own choice as picking up my first)Wost thing when you are giving up is getting drilled by someone because they "thought you were giving up!"
After two weeks backing off on the smokes, scoffing mints and "leaning" on an e-cig, I'm already finding it easier this time. Had a smoke this morning and shock horror! I couldn't stomach that first puff of the day!
So good onya Chef and the others, soon I'll be able to join the growing legions of reformed smokers!![]()
