I have been smoking for 50 Years. Tried everything to quit but was rarely successful past a few days.This time I became, and remain, determined to beat these things. I expected to have cravings...and I got them in spades...still do almost constantly. I have experienced roller coaster emotions from the depths of depression to almost feeling good about my decision. My body aches, my sleep is either totally messed up or I cannot wake up.
I know, sounds like a tale of Doom and Gloom, right? Well it can be if I let that get to me and I start being unpleasant to those around me for pressuring me to quit.
But the truth is, since I was 12 years old, I have smoked away two houses, or early retirement, and quite probably, years off my life span.
So whatever the future holds, I know I have beaten the ciggies, one day at a time. I don't worry about how I will handle tomorrow or next week...I simply manage today...Today is enough to focus on
