April 28, 20251 yr Hi Everone Just at the end of day 23. Not been to bad, Had a few cravings, well I wouldnt say cravings as it wasnt really a smoke I wanted was all very strange so just stuck a boiled sweet in mouth and carried on. Have been sitting in the garden in our nice sunny weather and I really noticed all the differnt smells. Jumped on the scales and jumped off quickly again, didnt like what they said lol.
April 28, 20251 yr Hi Jane, Congratulations on day 23 of your Quit. I'm curious, if it wasn't a smoke, what was it you were craving? The boiled sweet? It warmed my heart to read you were appreciating the smells. Isn't it nice how our senses clear up after a few days of being free from that pungent smoke? If you don't like what the scale says you should probably get some exercise! Your fellow Ex-Smoker
April 29, 20251 yr Congrats @Jane on day 23 somke free! Isn't it nice to be able to smell delicate fragrences again? Yet another benefit from quitting. I still get almost embarrassed when I think about how I smelled to others as a life long smoker and the whole time, I didn't see it myself. Keep up the good fight - you're making wonderful progress 🙂 Your primary focus right now is your quit. You can deal with the weight gain later. I agree with Pilgrim though that getting a little more excersize than you normally do will help. Even going for long walks can help.
April 29, 20251 yr Well done @Jane… Its wonderful when your nose comes alive many more benefits to come keep going , one day at a time 👍🐸
April 29, 20251 yr Congratulations on day 23 smoke free @Jane You are doing a great thing for yourself. Keep up the awesome work!
April 29, 20251 yr Congrats Jane, Day 24 today, racing to a month . Everything will keep getting better if you stay determined.
April 30, 20251 yr Day 25 now? There is now light at end of the tunnel, right? You see it was never so bad as you expected it to be. That's it, it won't get worse. Little by little you'll stop needing it, then you'll stop desiring it, and soon you won't even think about it. After a few years, it would seem strange you ever did it. Life is so much more enjoyable without smoking, sleep will get so much better, smells will be back, tastes. But not only, the enjoyment of life will be different, you will be very much happier, more content with yourslef and it is all all going to be better, get better and feel better, just hang in there and rock that quit!
