44 days
44days smoke free after 40 yrs smoking a pack a day. Decided to go cold turkey and really can’t believe I am now over 6 weeks fee from the demon of smoking. My health and fitness has improved dramatically, I have so much more time to do the things I want to do. I keep saying to myself NO NOT ONE PUFF EVER AGAIN. Good luck everyone
Congratulations DonnaEllen. It sounds like you are enjoying your new found freedom and all the benefits of being a non-smoker. Remember to check in with us, help others and reinforce your commitment from time to time. Helping others , learning and doing joyful things helps raise our dopamine levels which in turn elevates our moods. We miss that dopamine hit or high from smoking, but it can be replaced with other things. Be excited about this quit and make it your last. We only need to quit once. Be excited and very proud of your achievement!
