I'm so sorry about your friend Joe that truly is a wake up call...

Congratulations on 11 days quit John

Welcome aboard John and congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. A lot of our members have found that quitting helps their conditions once the initial nicotine is out of their bodies and they have a few months quit under their belts. Hopefully the same will be true for you

Yes, it was hard to believe in the beginning. I questioned why I even quit since I felt worse than when I smoked! But after the second month things slowly started improving for me. I updated this thread every month and would re-read the whole thing first just so I wouldn't forget where I came from. Unfortunately it was lost when qsmb went down. Luckily this first page of it was archived and I was able to retrieve it

It's extreme diarrhea

Ogling them Saz?

For @DeadlyChicken and anyone else experiencing these things... Posted 29 July 2016 - 05:32 PM In following the footsteps of devo and andra, I decided to post how my first two months have gone: the first three weeks were pretty much just as I expected. Irritable, lack of concentration, extreme cravings for sweets, fatigue, insomnia,tongue soreness, gums bleeding, among other things. I thought that that would be the extent of the "bad things". On the positive, my breathing improved, my sense of smell really improved, my tongue shed it's nicotine skin to a nice pink healthy tongue, my taste changed ( dr. Pepper isn't as good as I've always thought it was), my body, hair and clothes didn't stink anymore. Then I hit a month, suddenly my breathing got worse again, fatigue is ever present gums still bled although not as often. Week seven, had nausea, fatigue, lack of appetite,wake to tar taste in my mouth, a sign that lungs are finally starting to clean. Month two, have finally noticed that my breathing is slowly getting better, gums rarely bleed, sleeping like a baby, appetite much better. I'm posting this for anyone who isn't having an uneventful journey in their quit to show you are not alone.

Congratulations on getting past hell week warbelian, you're doing GREAT!

Hi deadlychicken, I also had bleeding gums, it's normal for a lot of us because the circulation is returning to your gums and whole body. I'm sure you've probably already noticed your gums getting their color back? It does get better, I think mine bled for a month or two. My tongue also hurt lol. Seems it shed that white gross film that smoking caused and now is nice and pink like it should be Also feeling lethargic for me lasted quite a while. Of course if you're concerned it's never a bad idea to get a check up and maybe see a dentist. I used a waterpik with a mixture of mouthwash and warm water to help my gums heal and it worked great. Quitting is a journey but so well worth it, it does get so much better. You're doing great
