200 days so far

Happy to cross 200 days last week. It was not a easy journey. The benefits I sensed so far
- I am able to smell much better.
- Not catching cold very often.
- Work time and Family time are not interrupted with smoking breaks.
- Saved around 800 to 1000 Euros in the last 7 months of quiting.
- Did not buy chewing gum or extra coffee to suppress the smell.
- No anxiety to find a shop to buy a cigerette packet.
problems
- Gained 11 kilos of weight in 7 months.
- No mood to excercise, actually feel nothing is interesting.
- disturbed sleep. Even many nights dreamed of smoking. Dreamed of searching for cigeretts
- Not interested in food diet.
- Tempted a lot to taste one puff, especially during travel. The smoking lounges / booths in airport transit area tempted me a lot to buy one pack. Mind told me it is only after 7 months and it is only during the travel. Somehow managed to divert the mind.
Expecting to be smoke free for the rest of the life.

Yay, I think you are doing well... I especially liked, "Expecting to be smoke free for the rest of the life." Me too!! You are wayyyy ahead of me. I am only close to 2 months so 200 days is a very long time and I will be there with the attitude you have. Thank you for your words,,, they inspire me. I have really bad moments, but they are only "moments" and the bad goes away... I know it is doable, as I read the history of many on this site. Some smoked way more than I and if they can do it, I can too. WE can too!!! Good luck with your journey.. You are doing so good, keep it up!!
