Day 18

Hi Y'All! Day 18 today. I start out every morning by reading day 18 quit experiences on this site and the iquit-smoking site. So the restlessness has been replaced with an ennui and I sometimes feel a slight headache/fogginess. I know this too shall pass. Overall I feel great. I know this is the most important thing I am doing for myself EVER!! Keep going everyone, don't stop quitting. I quit a gazillion times in the past but you know it's different when you got that pack of smokes available and handy and you say, "H*ll No!" Benefits so far: I'm not as exhausted by the constant up and down of smoking. I feel calmer inside myself. I feel in control of the direction I want my life to go. Breathing, eating and smelling is pleasurable. Skin looks great. I feel more engaged with the world and people around me despite the face mask in these pandemic times. I'm going to keep on posting and reading. I'm excited to get to 21 days! Keep going everyone, if you relapse start over right away. Build on your previous quit attempts and learn from them.
