Reciprocity

You've poisoned your body every day for years and now you haven't for over 2 weeks. Your lungs and all your other airways have decided to start purging that coating of gunk that's been building up on everything. The human body is amazing at healing itself once you stop trying to kill it. Tea is good. Extra water is good at this point too, will help break up mucus. Keep the tissues handy and hack it all up! In with the good (fresh air) out with the bad (all that gunk)

Hey Joan! Welcome to Quit Train. This is a great place for support from other quitters who really do "get it" in terms of all the crap you're going through as a quitter. We've all been there - wanting to rip someone a new one over almost nothing and feeling like our head is in a tailspin all day long. The symptoms aren't a pleasure that's for sure but keep in mind, they're only temporary. A solid quit will last a lifetime! Lots of resources here too that may help you find you way easier. Feel free to come here and unload your anger and frustrations. We'll try and help you along.

Welcome to Quit Train Amy! Sounds like you have your quit well in hand, considering you've only been quit for just over a month By the way, we share the same date Jan. 29th You've obviously still got a way to go still in getting completely used to life as a nonsmoker but you're right ..... you're gonna love all the things you will do as a nonsmoker. Nothing like finding your freedom again to really show us just how enslaved we were as smokers. Great work so far and happy 1st month!

Yes, addiction is an amazing entity when it comes to trying to end your relationship with it. It's like your brain is divided in two. Logical side and junkie side and there's a very real battle being waged for quit a while. The key is to make sure you delay any actions you take until the logical side has a chance to weigh in. Small peppermint candies were my constant companion for the whole first year I was quitting and I don't think I had ever had one before then lol. Haven't had one since either. Guess it was just my go to for keeping my mouth occupied.

14 I probably shouldn't poke the hornets nest with that "give it up" comment I suppose?
