I've quit smoking !

[optimismrus]

I quit about a week ago and I'm really glad, but I've just been blah, too. I think I'm doing everything right. I've set myself up to succeed. I wouldn't say I'm depressed because I'm not sad. I'd say I'm feeling "flat". Out of it a little. I've told myself these feelings are normal and eventually I'll feel motivated again. Meantime, I'm being kind and patient with myself. I'm getting the rest my body needs. And thanking my higher power for supporting me. And I'm grateful for all of you, too. 🥰

Congrats! It only takes a few weeks for it to become a habit. Keep up the good work!

Thanks hypercat, I didn't know that! 🥰

Great to hear that you are doing something for your health👏 . Not ever being a smoker, I surmise that the nicotine withdrawal has hit and that's OK. As the psychologists say, "that feeling will soon pass".Do you have any ideas for rewarding yourself in some small way at the end of each month smoke free?

I am trying new recipes as my tick of achievement.

I've recently quit smoking. Chewing nicotine gum, now. Awesome for you!🙂

🎉 Well done! One of the biggest improvements you can make! 🎉

FWIW, I just learned in my cardiac rehab class that you greatly improve your odds if you use both a slow release therapy (patches, etc.) and a break-through therapy (gum, etc.)

That’s wonderful!!! I quit several years ago and feel so much better. If I get the urge nowadays, I’ve been known to walk around chewing a straw … the hardest part for me is not having something to do with my hands. Congrats to you on bettering your health, that’s a huge win 🥳
