Wow Joanne well done you. Bet you and your purse feel better! Why not treat yourself to some GOOD facials to help improve your skin, use some of that money that you would have spent on the dreaded weed!

well done for quitting ...

well done , i wish i could give up, i did in feb for 3 weeks but couldnt stick to it, im now back up to 40 a day , hubby hates it as he has never smoked so doesnt understand,

you should definetly treat yourself, have a pampering day or something

Well done Joanne - you've done so well. The weight gain is a bummer but happens all too often when you first give up - I'm sure it will all balance out in the end - its a small price to pay for getting healthier in yourself and getting that nasty old nicotine out of your system.

Brilliant achievement Joanne - you should feel so proud of yourself - just make sure you keep it up!

Well Done Mate - I remember the first few days of when you gave up!

I'm so pleased you stuck with it and kicked the habit for good

Do you still crave one at all?

I still dream about having a fag and I really fancy one until I stand next to someone who smokes and they stink

Well done Joanne!

I was the worst smoker in the world (40++) and I packed them in 4 years ago. I still get the odd inclination but, to be honest, I couldn't be bothered being such a slave to the weed. I know if I had one puff, I would be back to square one on the same day. I am not conscious of really feeling better but I certainly don't feel as groggy headed as I used to (if that makes sense). Yes, unfortunately, I have put on quite a bit of weight but, to be honest, I would rather be a plump non-smoker than the skinny fag eater that I was.
Keep it up and go on holiday with the money you save!

Well done to you I have stoped for 2.5 years now the only thing was a started to pull my hair out LOL!!!!!! it is my eye brows that suffer and it is quite a bad habit for it is called Trichotillomania is a real disorder, causing individuals to pull out their own hair. I think I smoked more when I was stressed now no fags I have started to do this.
Keep going do not turn back

Congratulations mate, you've done really great gettingto 3 months.

I'd be lying if i said you'd never crave a fag again because no doubt you will, but yur will poweer get's stronger day by day and those urges get less.

I've been quite for 2 yrs now and can honestly say i hardly ever crave one now and wheni do it passess in seconds.

Keep up the great work, it's def worth it.

Well done Joanne and keep going. I quit 15 years ago, and can honestly say it's one of the best things I've ever done ... just wish I'd done it earlier that's all.

thats great news joanne, well done. i tried a few weeks ago then my mum was rushed in to hospital for a week, and 3 teenagers under one roof, i was like arrrrrrrrr give me a fag. i used patches put in on my arm in the morning, and with in half an hour i was spinning feeling really sick, felft really faint. ripped it of and in 5 mins was feeling fine again. hence a ciggy in my mouth.

WELL DONE JOANNE so proud of you
My mum as also not smoked since beginning of feb this year, She too has put on a bit of weight but her breathing is so much better now.

Well done it is well worth it. I quit 16 months agao and have also put on a lot of weight which has really depressed me but don't think I will ever smoke again.

I read the Allen Carr book Easyway to Stop Smoking and would thoroughly recommend it, I really thought it couldn't work until the last chapter but it did.

btw I was a serious smoker 40 a day smoked for 27 years (since I was 11) and had treid many times unsuccessfully to give up

Well Done!

Do you feel any healthier ?
