confession ... had 2 fags today.........

Those are great words of encouragement Blue Moon,

which I'm sure will give our "no-smokers" a boost.

Keep it up all of you.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

Keith,i have this picture in my head of you trying to light the spray and like the cartoon cigar it exploding and you left their looking bewildered with this shredded spray tube sticking out of your mouth !!!!

Val.

morning val.... hows you

Hope you all have a good no-smoking day
to-day.



Val.

First of all well done for cutting down and going to see the nurse to get some help,
you sound pretty determined to stop smoking,and I'm sure you are going to succeed.
Let us know how you get on :~)

You should have a word with Keith I'm sure he goes to a smoking clinic,you can compare notes.

I take my hat off to your Nana.

I gave up smoking 6 years ago on 6th Jan after 41 years of puffing. I think I would have failed if it wasn't for the fact I kept getting a bunch of flowers from my daughters on the weekly anniversary for the first month. Since then it's been a bunch every year on the 6/1. I couldn't let them down after spending their money so if you want to succeed involve your family. I felt the benefits from giving up immediately. The cough disappeared straight away.
I was 52 when I gave up the cigs and I went for a lung test with the works nurse. I had a lung age of 83. I gave up work last year and had to have another lung test before leaving and I had the lung age of a 53 year old. My lungs have healed so much.
Good luck to you all. Persevere!!!!
Cheers,
Jackie
