In control
I have done almost 14 months now with a few major slip ups but I’m going strong currently. I don’t even feel like smoking and I am not experiencing any cravings. I’m still using several nicotine lozenges daily but I hope to stop these soon. Honestly it would feel terrible to smoke again. During my little relapses I felt sick and I was coughing and I did very little exercise. Everything seemed to fall apart.
I no longer look wistfully at smokers wishing for one. It’s a terrible addiction that’s how I see it now.
I’m looking forward to saying I’ve done a whole year without a single puff.
Once you really see yourself as a non smoker and feel comfortable in different situations especially social ones it becomes much easier. I feel a new level of self respect knowing I’ve done a hard thing.
Way to go Cuba. It is nice to have back the control and also to have smokers look at you wistfully. If they only believed that they could quit smoking too. There is plenty of proof here on this site.
Keep up the positive thinking!
Well done Cuba.
I remember that when I smoked It would zap my energy. I now have more energy. I joined a gym 3 months ago and now attend 3 days a week. So far this year o have saved $5K from not smoking. I'm planning to use the money saved to take my daughter to fiji.
Thanks very much happiness and Liz87, I’m joining a body combat class at the gym and I would never be able to do this if I were still smoking. I hope you enjoy your Fiji trip Liz I’m jealous ! Goodbye to coughing and struggling I’m so glad I have made the right decision.
