Keep active & Busy

Hello,
Next week i will have been ciggie- free for 8 months! Yay. Going for walks, phoning friends, keeping my mind busy (binging shows) has really helped my journey over this time! no more cravings! I have a question though, is it normal not to cough up phlegm when giving up? I'm still waiting for that to happen....

Everybody and every body are different. While it can be a common occurence, I never experienced coughing up phlegm either. I expect that that might happen with more people who did that while smoking as well.
Congratulations on your 8 smoke-free months. Keep up the positive thinking and enjoy your new status!

Congrats. I didn’t cough up yukky stuff either but I did cough a lot in the first week or so of my forever quit which is this one. It helps so much too if you identify as a non smoker Keep living the Dream
