Day 52- Not too bad

I'M back on track, without reverting to full-strength patches.

Although I puffed my way through a packet of 20 cigarettes on Tuesday, it hasn't meant going back to Day 1 and starting all over again.

I'm not getting any terrible cravings and, this time, I'm making greater use of the inhalator.

My breathing has been poor. I was struggling for breath as I walked up Queen's Walk, Lyme Regis, last night. I stopped four or five times to take in air. Previously, I had been able to walk up the hill without stopping.

So, in terms of lung function, those 20 cigarettes did me a lot of harm. They set me back a few weeks, I'm sure.

I'm off clothes shopping again tomorrow, so I'll be too busy to think about smoking - hopefully!
