Has been about 5 months I think,,,not sure,,,,,,cant even imagin why I use to smoke a pack a day for 20 years.
Hey Lotofwind,
I usually ask people that give up the butts a simple question when I hear how long they have been off them.
"Why are you counting?"
A simple aid in keeping off the butts is to change your identity. Currently, you as most people do, refer to yourself as an ex-smoker. An ex-smoker, may stray back to them.
Instead, see yourself as a non-smoker. The difference is, a non-smoker woud never even think about lighting up a ciggy.
It's a simple change but has far reaching impact.
Good onya

Cheers DM,
Im not actual counting how long its been,
Im guessing 5 months,,cant remember when I stoped but know it was at the start of the year sometime.
Totally agree with the "Im a non-smoker" mind set.
I tried to quit so many times over the last 5years but always failed,
never thought I would ever get off them,
This time I just went cold turkey,
the first week or 2 sucked,
now I never even think about it.
Its like I have pretty much forgotten that I even use to do it???
Dont know why I found it imposable to give up ,then all of a sudden it was really easy and now cant even handle the smell of dirty butt burning.
Happy days.
I am eating heaps more but only because I have discovered how good food tastes when you can actually taste it.
I have lost 10kg though, as I am way more active and full of energy.
I havent had this much energy since I was 16.
