coughin up my lungs.. day 49
Ok, Im cruising along happily, happily la la la , reached day 49 ( yipee) which means 7 weeks tomorrow. So all good.
What is happening now is that I am coughin up these grey globs! Looks pretty gross. Im just wanting to know is this happening to anyone else, and Is this a " normal " cleaning process when you give up the fags????
Hi Gam, I am only at day 20 so I can not answer your question, though I will say that, even though it sounds disgusting it is definitely better out then in. Well done on the 49 days.
Day 46 for me and I have the worst head cold. Are you sure just don't have a cold.
Thanks Vanessa mae :) Freakboy Im sure i would know if i had a cold or not, so no cold. I have goggled this and looks as though coughing up crap is a normal process of our lungs cleaning themselves out. so im not too concerned...And Freakboy well done day 46 :)
Don't know Gam. At day 33 I haven't coughed up a darn thing ... surprisingly. Though I never coughed as a smoker. I'll let you know in 16 days when I'm at day 49.
hi Gam, when my hubby quit nearly three years ago he had the same thing..about 2 months off the cigs and cough cough cough, really yucky goop. It means your lungs are repairing themselves and learning how to work properly again so while it's yucky, it's also a good sign. Yay for 7 weeks xo
Day 49 for me tomorrow. Sounds disgusting but definitely better out than in. If you are worried or unsure I would take a sample to your doctor for checking. Congratulations on 7 weeks!!!
Wow im glad i missed out on the coughing up all the crap, i cant stomach it, makes me dry reach yuk yuk yuk.But like everybody has said better out than in and 7 weeks thats great im only 4 weeks in front of you lol Well done pat your self on the back
Hey crew, thanks for all your feedback! Im not too concerned about coughing up that filthy stuff, It actually reassures me that giving up the fags is sooo much more positive than we think, It's just not about not lighting up, Its also about detoxifying our bodies, cleaning out our lungs as well,So im a little pleased that I have something to show for my efforts ( sounds weird, hey ).
Anyway today is 7 weeks, seems so far away from day 1, so much has happened on this road, at times thought i was having a mental breakdown, other times thought no-one was on my planet, But sitting here at day 50 is such a great achievement and Im really pleased that for once in my life Im being kind to myself and no longer abusing myself.
So cheers to you all, stay strong, stay focused and dont let those evil damaging little white sticks suck you in.. :)
