April 8, 201412 yr No more stank breath for others to breathe as I talk to them. I can smell the shampoo in my hair when the wind blows. lol Yes! I love the smelling my hair part. Mmm
April 8, 201412 yr So is that picture of you in your avatar before or after you quit smoking? That my ***** Cat friend is Before... The After is just too hot... for here. (I am actually Actions Fatter funnier brother.... ;) )
April 11, 201412 yr Today's benefit for me.... Husband has just mowed the lawn, the smell....just beautiful.
April 11, 201412 yr Not having to desperately count money in hopes of having enough for a pack of cigs!
April 11, 201412 yr I don't have cold hands or feet anymore....I just noticed that the other day and it surprised me. I always had cold hands and feet, even in summer....that was a big eye opener!
April 11, 201412 yr Got rid of the nasty throat clearing thing I had to do all the time! I was a major closet smoker, if I were out & about town, I would have to drive and go find some hiding place to smoke. PA-thetic!!! I was constantly afraid I would see someone I knew. No more rushing to get home so I could smoke in the dark cold smelly garage and "enjoy" (not) my smoke in peace.
April 11, 201412 yr Nobody has called me "sir" on the phone--for the past year and a half Lol...that made be laugh. I have just to do my Bonnie Tyler number on our karaoke nights...betting I will now be pants, just ain't got the voice anymore...lol...
April 11, 201412 yr I am a person that laughs a lot... it's awesome to laugh without starting to cough up a lung 5 seconds later :)
April 12, 201412 yr Hahaha....watched a girl light a cigarette outside the restaurant I was leaving. I think she was using one of those cheepie imitation bic lighters....the flame went so big she singed her bangs. So glad that will never be me again. :)
April 12, 201412 yr That was the worst Jengelsnew! God, I remember that taste... gag. When I used to smoke in a car or vehicle of any kind, we'd throw the ashes into a water bottle or can. No more accidentally drinking from that bottle/can! GAG.
April 12, 201412 yr I will get to spend more time with my children. And they won't have to change my diaper cause I've had a debilitating heart attack or a stroke. Don't misunderstand me.....I'm still gonna make em change my diaper. But because I'm mean like that. Not because I decided to kill myself slowly.
February 11, 20197 yr Benefits after Five years ? Continued improvements in breathing and skin tone, taste and scent also, heart and circulation. My flu or colds do not degenerate into bronchitis. I have no cough. I never think about smoking anymore. I may have a vague memory, 'oh, I used to smoke during moments like this' but, this is without temptation or desire. As the years go by, I am prouder and prouder of myself for dealing successfully with my nicotine addiction and have greater compassion for those still in the throes of addiction.
