Im gonna. I have an appointment on the 3rd. Stress test. Also going to report the bloody cough to physician. Hopefully its just bronchitis. But man, I really wish I had not smoked

I am approaching my third month clean from nicotine. I also coughed up blood three times today, and my chest hurts. My mother looked like a wasted skeleton at the end. I dont wanna go out like that.

Nope. Its that simple.

I'm never smoking again.

Still an ex smoker. Work schedule has been intense. I live in the capital, right downtown. My job is weird, recipricocity. Its real weird. Occasionally also exciting. I have motivated two other friends to quit IRL. Its been almost a month. I am not going to lie, I am still getting three to five strong craves a day. I dont mind them. I snack and exercise to cope. My doctor will undoubtedly approve of both the weight gain and the positive shift in attitude. A glimpse of what I get to enjoy as an ex-smoker

That vacation is going to be twice as good, cause you don't smoke now Tyme!

Thank you Octain, Jetblack, Recipricocity, Martian, Doreen, Joel, Boo, Latoya, EVERYONE!!! I could not have quit without you all. Your support has meant everything.

Octain, life doesn't just seem better, it IS better now. Life improved when we quit. Oh what a great decision. I am never ever EVER putting nicotine or tobacco in my body EVER AGAIN.

So 15 days in, the things I have gotten back: I can breathe easier. I can read a book because now, I can sit still long enough. I am now less vulnerable to cold and weather. Anxiety improved. GERD mildly improved Budgeting is easier. I have more time. Blood pressure and heart rate improved, and circulation has definitely improved. My feet dont burn and sting anymore. That is significant. They were hurting a lot. Smoking is terrible for you. If you smoke, quit.

Never ever again. Nope.

Seriously if you are not a working professional you shouldn't even OWN red loctite

Some advice to all here: NEVER GO RED LOCTITE, JUST USE BLUE.

It is incredible how fast your heart rate starts to improve. Your hands get steadier, my feet dont hurt when I walj around anymore. Im not shivering cold in 50f temperatures. I can breathe easier. And its not even two weeks yet.

This comes down to a choice, like anything else. Do I want to smoke? No. I Dont want to smoke anymore. 11 days clean and very happy to be so. On the road to freedom from ALL mind and mood altering substances.
