Thank you!

[tigerlilly]

I just wanted to pop back here and say a huge thank you to all of you that gave help, advice and encouragement to me exactly one year and one day ago, when I found this forum.  Without your kindness I would not have kicked the old stinkies and would not now, be feeling alive again, without chesty gross cough, and with no energy.  I'd also be nearly 4k pounds worse off! My asthma has virtually gone and life has improved in so many ways and I've even been complimented on my nice skin and that's NEVER happened before. 

What really worked for me was a post I read from another newbie - can't remember who now - who had decided to kick the stinkies, but had wisely decided to stop with the tobacco flavours as well. That was my epiphany moment; it made perfect sense to me, to kick out everything that was representative of 'proper fags', and as soon as I changed from tobacco to, in this case, Coconut juice, I was really on my way!

Another wonderful thing is that this year, finally, we have sold our house. We needed to for financial reason, but the previous year, it just stuck on the market...This year, of course, it was a smoke free home, where as the previous year, I was spending loads of money on Febreze, scented candles, diffusers etc to try to mask the smell of stale smoke, and I am wondering if now, that was another reason why the house didn't sell? I'm so aware of the odour of smoke now, esepcially when I go to my poor old mum's house. She still puffs away like a trooper - but she's 81 and has the right, I believe to do now what still makes her happy. Her life. Her choice.

Anyway, sorry I've rattled on, but I wanted to say that this forum, and the gerous people who continue to post, encourage and help newbies like me, have another non-smoker to add to their success list. I'm sorry I don't post much, but life is busy - busier now I don't smoke and have more energy...

Hopefully if there are any newbies reading this, then you'll understand that if I can do it (smoker for 40 years), so can you, and my goodness the benefits of being smoke free will amaze and delight you. 

Thank you all again

Best wishes to you all

I have to agree the only way I could give up was to not to vape any tobacco at all I started with fruit juices and have stuck with them it worked for me. I found the forum after I gave up the stinkies but it has been of great help.
Well done you on the year from one Chelmsford girl to another although I no longer live there
