Well done Peter. Even though you were tempted you did'nt give in! It will get better.... BC

Peter, well done for not giving in. You can do it you know. You have done the hardest bit. Time for a treat!! Jill x

Well done Peter...day five here already.!! You have kicked the habit, you should have your taste back and things should smell sweeter now. Don't give in to your urge of wanting a ciggie...if you lasted 5 days...you CAN carry on. Support is a great help and I will check in on your progress...and your wife...hope you are both feeling better too. Anne :)))

Bad day today kept whanting a ciggy but did not give in. will spend rest of tonight watching red nose, and think about the extra cash I gave, insted of seeing it go up in smoke.

I am amazed even when I have felt like having a smoke I have not given in. Fags hold no apeal to me any more. No stopping me now I Have quit

Well done Peter & wife...getting to day 3 is a milestone in itself and you have done it...keep it up. Anne :)

Sorry Peter, I didnt see you there. Congrats on your 3rd day. Keep up the good work, you can do it> Deanna

Day 3. national No Smoking Day still not smoked, even stood next to some one who lit up at the Bus stop. No probs. I just wish I would stop trying to react to the old habbits and thinking I have a fag in my hand when I do'nt

Good on you both............two days! ONE DAY AT A TIME! Good luck and God Bless. Deanna ;-0)

Great to hear you are both doing so well, Peter. It does get easier day by day, and you have nearly passed your 2nd day, so good on yer mates!! Give yourselves a great big pat on the back!!! Anne :)))

Well done Peter - keep going !!!

Still going strong, Patches woking great. starting to lose the desier to light up (the Hbbit part) no cravings for a fag (The addictive part)

Hi Peter and mrs Peter DAY 2 Please keep it up. I have made my mind up to join you both. Im going on hols a week wednesday but Im def going to give it my best shot on my return. Dont let me or yourselves down :o))) Gerri (cough cough splutter).... ;o)

hi peter - i am on day 8 ! have been smoking for 25 years, about 20 a day. i spent the first 2 days with a sugar free lolly in my mouth , lol. did look a bit silly at work, but it did help . i am on the patches too, but did err a bit a couple of days ago... am back on the straight and narrow again though. good luck, hang on in there, i know its bloody hard, but it really does get easier- honest ! and think of all the £££££- lol, sue.

Well done to you and your wife Peter. You will find so many advantages being a non smoker. (sounds good eh) Try and give yourselves a treat each day. There is another thread on the boards which has lots of helpful tips on it about giving up smoking. Good luck Jill

Well my patch has runs out now and I still have not had a Fag. Keep whanting to go through the rotine of lighting up but have no desier to have a ciggy. Have chewed about 30 matches to keep things at bay. Can't have sweets Diabetic and gum is out (Have a plate) so matchs it will be. Bath and bed soon updates tomorrow.

Hiya Peter and Wife Congratulations on stopping smoking, i stopped with Anne and Sue 5 days ago now and i feel great. But what has helped the most is the fact that all these wonderful people leave the messages of support for us to read everyday and believe me it really does help.. Good Luck to you both Rachael

Well done and good luck to both of you - you can do it:o))) jude sarf wales

Good luck Peter, it is so tough. I will pass on the cocktail stick idea to my brother and his wife. They have been complaining that they need something to chew all the time and gum isn't doing the trick! Stick to it! Abigail
