Stories & experiences

Welcome goodness786, It is still early days yet, and you need to remember your body is trying to normalize the whole situation and re-adjust, some of us had no problems, others had a lot of problems. I had a slight phlemb problem, but this righted itself. As to the pain in your back it could be related to different exercises or movements that are new to you. If this continues, I would go back to your doctor.

Your anxiety is something that needs to be addressed for a short while, and you can learn more about yourself in this regard by viewing "How to grow to be a happy non-smoker" by Nasia Davos
TEDxUniversityofPiraeus. Something will gell with you as you look through the video and this is what you need to focus on. Taking one day at a time and plan your day resting when you need to could help.

I will keep you all posted thank so much for your reply and advice x

I am glad you are seeking medical advice even though all quits are different . Any medical concerns should be addressed. Stick with your great decision to quit smoking. You will not be sorry. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes we just need reassurance.

Food high in tryphophasn triggers the body to make seratonin which makes you happy. Just a thought.

Hi Happiness thank for advice i am keeping in touch with my new doctor, who i spoke today and was fantastic, compared to my previous doctor who had no time. I wanted to know from you how are taking the ginger and turmeric xx

Hi Goodness. In answer to your question about how I took Ginger and Tumeric.

I took it as a lung detox by boiling onions with turmeric and ginger down and taking an an ounce morning and night with a spoon of honey to chase it. After a week, I didn't feel like a smoke first thing in the morning..... and that is how I ended up on a quit smoking site and have quit for over a year now. A vile recipe but so worth it. Today I just take it for its antibiotic and immflamatory properties either in a broth made of chicken base or in a milk or nutmilk with honey. It must have black pepper to activate the curcumin in the turmeric. Quite tasty.

Thank you Happiness, i will look to make the recipe that you have shared, at the moment i am drinking lots of ginger and honey. Not having any dairy products. How long can you store the the onion,turmeric and ginger once boiled and in liquid form xxx
