June 22, 20233 yr Ohhhh Wow!!!!! Thank you so much Doreen!!!🥰😁 It has been a month already!! Time just flies! Amazing!! Looking back, this past month, it hasn't been that bad, except for the first week to 10 days. The urges are so much less now, almost gone. 😁 Even in the morning when I used to smoke like 2-4 cigarettes in an hour and a half while having my 2 cups of coffee, I don't really get the urges anymore, and the few urges that I do get just pass after like 20 or 30 seconds. So, it's definitely much better!! As I think you know, I have started a walking regime, and I told my husband last week that the walking is much harder for me than quitting smoking, as my legs and feet still hurt a lot! But, I guess, as time goes on, it will get easier (I hope), because right now the pain is giving me no gain! LOL!!! But, I will keep plugging along! Thank you Doreen and everyone else on this forum for helping me to get through this!! You all are great people and it's a privilege to be part of this group!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰

Thanks so much Gus!!😁 I do need to reward myself but with what? I don't want to eat fattening foods since I'm trying to lose weight. Any ideas of what to reward myself? What did you reward yourself after a month?
June 22, 20233 yr Congratulations Sandi, that's the first smoke free month on your way to a smoke free life. I am proud of you. Don't forget to reward yourself today.

LOL IDK, A reward doesn’t have to be something you ingest. A basic mani and/or pedi. Splurge and buy that great smelling shampoo you haven’t bought in awhile. Buy a book you’ve been wanting and lose yourself in it. There are so many options. Maybe something to go along with the walking?

Yup, still walking which is harder than quitting smoking. Go figure!🤔
June 23, 20233 yr Congratulations on the month long quit Sandi! Well done and hope the walking becomes less painful. Remember that pain is your body telling you that you might be over doing it. Rest is also part of the workout. Best wishes.
