I've quit smoking!!!

It’s been a week since my last cigarette and I’m feeling pretty funky. Just wanted to gloat a bit really. I know a week ain’t long…But I think I’ve cracked it, the cravings are nearly gone now. I can’t wait to be able to complete a trials line and not have to bend double and gasp for 5 minutes. Got to be fit for the summer for all the planned Muni and getting the club set up. Also a few days into pondering the possibility of a Jon 'o Groats to Land’s end coker ride for charity with my unicycle comrade Petit Pierre…Will keep you posted as to whether the ponderings become anything more than just chin scratching.

Anyway, jusy wanted to revel in my nocotine free glory for a few moments.

You’ve quit smoking? I didn’t even know you were on fire!

What’s nocotine?

Good luck. Keep up the good work. I’m 3.5 years into it, now. I quit for 10 years once. Please don’t become righteous like some other quitters.

Oh, that’s a good one. You quitter!

It’s when you can’t sleep because you crave a cig.

There’s nothing worse! My father’s one and he insists that since he managed to stop smoking all addictions are easy to break out of and all the various addicts out there are just being lazy…hmmm, that makes sense. Or not!

bye,

Way to go, Kit! All power to you to maintain. I’m told that a person can see and feel the effects of not smoking almost immediately.

Of course, one of the best ways of maintaining is accountability, so keep us informed.

Nice one, Kit!

And I’ve been wondering about the club too… is it set up ready with a start date?

it looks like the club should get going in March. I was hoping for Feb but Christmas has gotten in the way a bit. And being a chef it’s my busiest time of year. But had a really god meeting with the community sports development officer , Vicky, just before christmas and she’s really excited about it. And the really good news is that I got an e mail on christmas eve from Vicky that she’d recieved from Awards For All saying that there’s a surplus of funds in the North West so nearly all projects are being approved and in nearly half the time! The gods seem to be smiling.

after this weekend it’s all systems go on getting the club set up now that I’ve recovered from christmas. I’ll keep you posted…and on the smoking…

Kit

wooohoo, nice job!! Did you know that statistically, every cigarette you smoke shortens your life span by eleven minutes?
yeah.

:smiley:

hey wait… how long does a cigarette take? for me the person who will never know first hand.

my question to anybody who smokes is why did you start did you think you were cool or something
