Monday at 02:21 PM4 days Stewbum is 5 months and one day Smoke Free with the added benefit of 5 months and one day Heart Attack free!Still counting the days but life's struggles seem to be smoothing out a bit. Off to work.😎
Monday at 02:55 PM4 days 5 months smoke free is decent for sure but even better is the heart attack free status! The first certainly has an effect of the second so keep it up on both accounts!! Edited Monday at 02:55 PM4 days by Reciprocity

Tuesday at 08:29 PM3 days Congratulations Stewbum!Five months is a huge accomplishment.Remember to give yourself rewards, especially on tough days.These can be small rewards, just a reminder to your brain that soon your reward center will not be nicotine-centric. The feel-good endorphins will kick in for all the positive stimuli.
Tuesday at 09:36 PM2 days Congrats on 5 Months! You reaped a BIGGIE benefit right off the bat for sure but I would hate you to get into the thinking sink hole further down the line that you were "forced" to quit because of it and you really miss it, etc. Recognize the other benefits as they accrue too.A biggie for me eventually (once the smoke had cleared for a while) was no longer wasting time dedicated for it and thinking about it (do I have enough smokes, can I freely smoke where I'm going, are there going to be any other smokers, do I have to limit/not smoke). All that constant chatter surrounding the addiction in my mind is gone. Whoosh. Priceless.
