7 days down.

I’m 7 days cold turkey today and wanted to put some thoughts in writing. To be honest the cravings have not been as strong as I thought they would be, the thing I find mostly a hinderence is the restlessness and confusion. I find myself pacing for no reason until I snap out of it and focus again. I’m starting to get a couple extra hours sleep, using breathing exercises , although I am still waking every hour or 2. The benefits so far are great; my kids don’t smell smoke on me anymore, I don’t feel guilty or second guess kissing my wife, My teeth and gums are really starting to get a natural colour back to them and I just have an overall feeling of accomplishment because this has governed my life for 20 years. I tell myself and others I’ve quit, not “trying to quit”, i’m not going to smoke again because they are filthy and have no benefits what so ever.
