day 42 wahooo..............Yeap 6 weeks
Well here I am at day 42,( 6 weeks).. I honestly can't believe I have made it this far!
Looking back its been one crazy ride to get here, But I have to honestly say it has'nt been THAT hard. Had some crazy days where I honestly thought I was going mad, Had some humdinger moody moments But did'nt give in to those horrid fags .
I absolutely hate the smell of cigarettes now, It's such a heavy soffocating smell, and to think I was pumping those toxic things continually into my body for the past 30 years Is such a horrid thought, I also caught up with an old friend and they have COPD, It was really sad seeing her breathe, she was struggling pretty bad.So either way the fags are gonna catch up with us all eventually in some way or another. Such a scary thing!
So now Im absolutlely loving my new life without those filthy cancer sticks controlling my life, I have my life back and Im quite happy to never see or smell another cigarette ever.
Im loving the fact that I smell nice now, I have clean teeth, My hair and fingers dont smell like fags, All is good on this road to recovery.
So cheers to every-one on this road, stay strong and You'll get there, It is soo worth it to kick the ol habit, So stop abusing your bodies and it's now time to nurture ourselves from all those years of abuse.
Good luck ! :)
Oh my god Gam, I am only on day 5 & yesterday coming out of the supermarket armed with bags of groceries, there were people sitting out the front of a cafe smoking or had just had a smoke (I chose not to look) but I smelt it & went "oh, that s*** smells like crap!!"
When you talked about "having your life back" I feel much the same, Im a much better Mum, I dont say to my girl "Hang on baby, Mummy will just have this smoke" "Hang on honey, Mummy will just go for a smoke & then Ill come watch you" I have ALL my time for that & I believe she sees that to!!
Im so proud of you!!
Cant wait for my DAY 46!!!
Go Girl!!!!!
well done Gam 6 weeks thats fantastic im on my 9th week now. Like u i thought quitting would of been a lot harder !!! At the same time im not saying it was easy yeh i had my moments where i just wanted a smoke please...but i never did didnt have any mood swings a few headaches but now its all good. A few headaches is a small price to pay when u think how we have punished our body and our lives with all those horrible chemicals we were inhaling.Good on you for 6 weeks well done
Thanks JodieRw-Your a sweetie. Im so relating to the excuses to the kids, having them on hold til youve had a smoke, Yeap been there for my own kids, It's pretty sad really isnt it. Anyway onwards and Upwards we go from here. Cheers to Us, we rock xoxo
Hey freedom- 9 weeks for you, you are the legend. Yeah giving up the fags isnt all easy and there are times where there's a bloody war going on in your head, will I, wont I ( we've all been there) JUST ABOUT drives you insane, and it's exhausting at times, wears you out.But cheers to us all beating this shocking addiction. So well done :)
That's great Gam, 42 days, (that's massive). I bet you feel like a new person. Keep it up. Only 19 days for me but I'm feeling confident :)
Congratulations Gam, what allot of PROUD moments for you! It's so great to hear your story - how you actually dislike cigarettes now and the smell. Sad to hear about your friend but like you said we chose to do it to our bodies so it may catch up with us at some point. A pleasure to read, thank you for sharing and for your support! All the best for the remainder of your journey :-)
