I just quit smoking for good

[BigBoss]

Had my last smoke about 30 minutes ago. I will document my journey through withdrawal the next 7 days. Bring it



Update #1: 3 weeks smoke free.

I think i'm in the clear.

Warning to those who are thinking of quitting: Theres side effects so be prepared..

1) First week was physical withdrawal.

2) Second week apparently cigarettes suppressed my allergies, because i had a serious case of hay fever. I've had nasal congestion ever since.

3) Sleeping is still very off.

4) My gums have started to grow back in, it's hard to explain but they receeded a bit, but now they look normal. Here's the messed up part, one of my tooth in the bottom left side of the mouth is crooked now because the gum pushed it sideways. I literally woke up in the middle night to pain, i looked in the mirror and saw that it was crooked now.

5) I still have the odd craving. I had a very bad/stressful with school and would have killed to go for a smoke break, so in those moments you feel a little claustrophobic. I'm not substituting smokes with anything.

6) sex drive is down. it takes longer to bust

That's all the negatives so far.

Pros:
1) Energy is WAYYY up
2) I feel very calm, relaxed, and reserved.
3) Extra time
4) Saved over 100 bux already.
5) I smell/feel cleaner.
6) Breathing/walking is a lot easier.
7) Lifting/running a lot longer in the gym.

Update #2: 2 months smoke free.

Hey guys just wanted to update this in case anyone is trying to quit cigarettes. I'm smoke feel and I feel great. Heres whats going on with me though

1) I still cough up mucous every morning.
2) I crave the odd cigarette sometimes when i see someone smoking and envy them lol. I'm not in the clear yet to be honest, but im getting there it's more mental than a physical craving.
3) My mood is starting to stabilize. I was depressed and would get angry fast the first month i quit.
4) I don't miss smoking, but I miss the breaks. I noticed i tried to replace it with coffee breaks or eating snacks, but i shot that down. Lately i've been drinking green tea for my break.
5) I just feel cleaner and healthier.
6) It's WAY easier to breath. I have way more sustainable energy throughout the day.

You can do it, bro.

My girlfriend smokes and has quit a couple times, but it's really hard and she got really mean at times. It was scary. The hardest part is the first week or two.

Smokers affect everyone, not just themselves.

Why did you start?

Cancer sticks are deadly.

First time I smoke I was drunk and at a party. Then one day I bought a pack and the rest was history. It's been 7-8 years. I'm quitting to increase my energy level, and to remove the addiction/reward response it's created in my brain. I've been a slave to it far too long.

Good luck. I quit 5 months back. Still get cravings once in a while, but especially when I drink. Have great people around me though that make sure I don't fall back into that habit.
