Hola Juan ! I was looking over some of our archives and saw some of your struggles and wondered how you were doing ! So glad you quit smoking nine days ago. Congratulations on your quit, stay close and NOPE your way to a lasting Freedom.

In need of a head transplant. Feeling shaky, fragile with a ravage thirst. Celebrated a friend's BDay last night. Over Celebrated. Verrry Green About The Gills today. Met a kissable chef on the crawl. hmmmm.....

Congratulations on your quit @Roark ! and welcome to our merry band of quitters. The sooner you acknowledge and distract yourself from smokey thought, the easier it gets. It takes effort, no doubt ! I chose to replace smokey thought with something of beauty. Like, looking at that light on that leaf or listening to a piece of music or revisiting a special memory. Taking serious mindful breaths (with @jillar's air cigarette !) The 'move a muscle change a thought' adage is also very useful and helps to switch up smokey thoughts. Also, something our friend, @Sirius, said really stuck with me, "The next time a craving plunks down on your face ask yourself, "What price you are willing to pay to own yourself?" You also need to reward yourself which helps to re-wire your brain. The Significance of Rewards

I am so happy you are noticing such benefits quickly, mighty one. The gifts will continue. Oxygen became my favorite new drug ! I practice all sorts of breathing techniques now, the thrill of oxygen is still thrilling. How could I have been so careless with this, I often ask myself.

I am so happy for you and may the benefits of quitting smoking continue, Boo. Quitting smoking was the catalyst for change that set off a chain of events that transformed me, too. Well, not Every facet of my life... Quitting smoking didn't transform my marital status for which I am ever gratefully single. lol. But, the changes have been quantum none-the-less and the thing is now, I know how to change. I have the skills to identify where change is needed and the skills to facilitate change, I also gained the trust in myself and self-confidence to meet these challenges. I love seeing this in other quitters, too. It is remarkable to witness.

Here is new follow up video on the subject. No matter how much or for how long you smoked, the physical withdrawal peaks within 72 hours. Then, the psychological work begins.
