SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

Well done all who are keeping the faith and not giving up giving up. Fandabbydozy! ...as the very short woman who dressed as a schoolboy on telly used to say

Go you G-snap...I celebrated my 2yrs nicotine free on the 26th of April just gone and it, along with with quitting alcohol are the best things I've ever done for myself.

It's been a relatively easy road I guess because I've been 'lucky' in that I have the fear that comes with lung disease. A new-found willingness to concentrate on my redeveloping my conscious contact with a higher power (mine happens to a christian God)also helps because I don't feel alone with my addictions. Sorry folks, it's 12 step speak all the way for me at the moment.

Since returning to work on a 12 step programme it's been harder in some ways . These bloody addicts yanno, they all seem to smoke! There can be weeks where I'm triggered most days at meetings but I work those first 3 steps like a demon around my nicotine addiction and have still not smoked...not one puff! The memory of that last near fatal chest infection sticks with me in full technicolour.


May the force with y'all
