Getting out of a cage
330 smoke free days now and feeling great after initially feeling crap when I first quit. The feeling is like escaping from a dingy cage and being let loose in the open. All this after 53 ish years of being tied down by nicotine.
Don't want to say I wish I had quit earlier as its pointless
Best present for years being free of the weed.
that's funny free of the weed :)
and yes I did but that went long before the baccy weed.
well done keep going one day at time.

I am looking forward to when I can post 330 days, to me that is an amazing feat. I like to read of people who are in the early stages like me but also to read post by someone who has traveled so much further.
Thats an amazing number Dobbin, congrats. Im at 196 and everyone is asking me if I feel different. Simple answer is not really. I am on quite a few medications after a heart attack 7 months ago, never took anything before that and I did have to change one of them due to side effect of coughing. Combination of quitting and that drug made the coughing terrible, so I have noticed thats gone. I can smell other smokers now and am horrified to think I smelt so bad, but I havent really noticed much else. Am I expecting too much? 6 months is still early days I guess although it seems ages and ages ago that I was a smoker. Youre nearly at a year, do you remember when you started noticing things?
Hi Lynnieh. 196 days. That's fantastic and well done. I am not sure when the feelings of wellbeing really started. I was dogged with poor sleeping for quite a while. I also had issues putting on weight which has now stopped.
Good luck with your quit and keep posting.
