Deep breaths

Posted in Reasons to quit
schedule 5 May 2017

I quit smoking 16 days ago, it feels like the longest 16 days of my life. I am 33 years old, I have been smoking since I was 14. It was the dumbest decision of my life. I have 2 boys, age 2 and 14. I am all they have in this world so I am trying to stay alive as long as possible and be a good influence. The cravings are driving me nuts. I feel like its a drug addiction and everyday I wonder if I can fight it. I am eating like a cow, I am psycho, but things are getting better everyday!! Taking long, deep breaths are what helps me the most.

We quit around the same time, you are a few days ahead of me. I completely understand how you feel. I'm trying to avoid things or activities that trigger me to want a cigarette. I've learned so far, I smoked a lot out of boredom. So I definitely try to avoid being bored. I have a three year old, so he keeps me pretty busy. Good luck and hopefully we we all have long term success!
