Mandy – my quit buddy!

How I was feeling today?

Today was a great day. I thought Gemma’s party would be really tough for me as it’s the first pub night since I quit– but I also didn’t want to

miss it. Having my quit buddy, Mandy, with me was a real help and we supported each other throughout the night. I also made everyone know

we are quitting so they didn’t offer us cigarettes. I think it would have been much more difficult without the indoor smoking ban.

I have noticed that my breathing has got better – I went for a jog in the afternoon and it was much easier than before.

Did still have big craving with my morning coffee though...
