Thanks brettsza ... ecigs are banned here .... so the hard way or the highway for moi :)

So be it. Cutting my intake by 2/3 rds without feeling "freaky" is just amazing. Gonna try 6 to 8 tomorrow and if it's less, then great:)

You've made my Christmas. My ex husband was a 40+ a day smoker and died of lung cancer at 56. Our kids 28, 35 and 38 still miss him dreadfully 5 years on. Thank you :)

Woaah Mike! Well done you!
A friend here who had smoked for many years switched to e-cig and literally within days even lost the urge for that and is now a non-smoker! Didn't know about the ban there? I've never smoked in my life so don't have that battle ! Keep going

SJ. Those words (which made me mist up a little bit) just made me even MORE determined. Thank YOU :)

More strength to do this :) Nite and sleep well Sable Jan

Mike :)

EDIT - Should have added this. Had to drop my fave foods (pizza and fries but only once a month anyhow), had to give up my fave drink (Guinness) dismiss any sweets so how hard can this be? I've survived the rest of it, feel a whole lot better for it and have you guys to thank for it :) Some members think I inspire others with what I've done?

No.

Reverse is the case.

Good luck with the non-smoking @Mike D

5.9 today which I'll take since I forgot meds last night ( didn't actually eat enough to take them with as out) and I've been awake most of night with wind and rain lashing against window. Feel rough today but have to go out shortly to do last bits of shopping and collect a turkey.

Higher than the last few days, but self inflicted. Roast dinner last night as usual, but overdid the gravy as a trial for Christmas Day

5.9 at bedtime
5.7 this morning

Just think of the mad Christmas rush in the shops you are missing and of the extra days holidays you will have left over when all else have used theirs up ;) and the sun is shining
