I thought depression was a normal thing , because i have it everyday due to financial reasons and cultural reasons .Its almost like depression is a normal thing in this country . Every where you look you can see depressed people , lol But i know i am more privileged than most of my neighbors financially . Then i have positive times too , Maybe life is like that . I don't know one person that is happy all the time . Please think positive , The beginning stages of the quit are the hardest , It only becomes more easy and easy . You also become more healthier and healthier as time passes by . I have cravings too sometimes , that is because i am very bored sometimes . I am even waiting for a new job , currently i am unemployed even after a 90% complete Bsc computer science degree and a Bba degree which i am about to finish in a month through a distance education university . Please think about all the positive achievements Life is still mostly dull for me .

Thanks for the reply , I thought i would feel exhausted when doing the pushups after 3 days , but somehow i was able to retain the stamina to do it , Good thing the muscles have build up enough stamina and remembers it . My cardio workout is only the 20 minutes on the treadmill .That workout is a bit boring , so i watch Family guy episodes when i am on treadmill .

Hello Vivianne , I continued with the same workout today too 4 different type machine workouts 120 pushups 60 dumbbells 20 minutes treadmill I didn't feel much pressure doing a 20 x 6 pushups this time , I thought i lost that touch after i took a 3 days break from the gym . But i did that easily , So feeling happy

@d2e8b8 Thanks 20 pushups , 6 times

I have watched Ran , Yojimbo , Seven samurai , Rashomon Rashomon is my favorite Kurosawa movie

Back from the gym , Same things I can easily do 120 pushups now without much exhaustion . That is good news :)

Back from the gym again , 4 different type machine workouts 120 pushups 60 dumbbells 20 minutes treadmill

Thanks Vivianne , I am eating very less these days too , because last time i saw a doctor and did my blood test , my sugar levels were a bit high .I think that was because all the smoke intake and was related to my lifestyle . I used to drink a lot of lemonade and pepsi . Nowadays i am mostly eating wheat and vegetables these days . Absolutely no direct sugars . I have been continuing like this for more than a month now . I am still 75Kg's . I don't know much about protein supplements . So i don't know if i should eat it right now . Anyway i hope i can continue with this current diet . Also just came back from gym , same workouts . 4 different type machine workouts 120 pushups 60 dumbbells 20 minutes treadmill

Just came back from the gym , 4 different type machine workouts 124 pushups this time ( i have never done 124 pushups in a single day before , lol ) 60 dumbbells 20 minutes treadmill

Thanks for the reply everyone

Thanks a lot catlover , This whole controlling thing have become at least 10 times more easy now

Thanks for the encouragement everyone

Used to happen to me too when i was a bit excited , i always thought a smoke would complete me when i was excited . But , keep fighting

I did it again , this time this is forever .

Hello KatV , You have to find some other ways to kill that boredom and dullness . During my initial quit attempts i thought smoking was a fun activity and i had a hard time staying away from it because that was my only exciting activity 2 years ago . I live in India in an average town , there isn't much activity in these places nor much night life . But when i looked at my neighbor's , they too are going through the same dullness and life but without smoking . Like someone said during my initial attempts life is not always fun , excitement and party . So if you can adapt to that dullness for a few days somehow , you can easily stay from the smoking habits too . You have to learn to adjust in life without smoking . I am only speaking from my own situations and experience . You must also learn to stay fresh somehow , i am sure your or my life is not always dull Life is like a metronome , it will swing between dullness and freshness , at least that is my experience . It is all about conquering that negative dull times

Continues with the same workout routine , 20 minutes treadmill 4 different type machine workouts 60 dumbbells 80 pushups And comes back home , feeling happy

Awesome job VIvianne , Congrats for the 4rth day without smoking . When quitting smoking the main fight is between dullness and freshness , you will very easily feel dull but try to stay fresh somehow !!! Also , going to the gym makes you less lazy than working out alone

just came back from the gym again , did all the machine workouts and also did 80 pushups today too in 1 hour time .

@Lilly , After 2 more days i will be celebrating my one month quit

I am 163 pounds , working on it to reduce it 10 days in the gym and i have been improving my stamina . I feel less fatigue these days . That itself is a massive improvement

That time was the hardest for me too in the beginning , my toughest time was from 6 in the evening to almost 10:30 at night . Somehow managed to overcome the dullness during that time . I am very fresh again after 10:30 I am a person who is very energetic at night and late nights . I don't know why its that way

Yes, i have had dreams before about smoking cigarettes , i was feeling really bad about it and then i woke up and was happy to know that it was just a dream . I read an article few days ago and it says that people sleeping under cold conditions have the chances of nightmares than people sleeping under warm conditions . They even say that people having a deep sleep under warm conditions could see more better dreams .

Thanks jillar , Thanks doreensfree OK , i will post the improvements i make in the gym there The biggest improvement was in the pushup counts , started the gym with 22 total pushups and now it have reached 80 , lol

Thanks Vivianne

No cigarettes since the last 25 days and also going to gym since the last 10 days . I spent at least an hour in the gym everyday I feel great . And i do not have any plans to stop Being doing 80 pushups since the last 2 days I feel good
