Day 17

[nsd_user663_1695]

Going strong, I am pretty sure I will never smoke (nicotine) again, one vice at a time.

Does anyone else cough up brown/black stuff on a daily basis? I didn't do that so much when I smoked a pack a day, now I seem to every day.

oooh oh yes!! i did i had that! i got a thread in general about it i think. It must be the tar n rubbish out of the lungs, nice huh?! Still it's good to see what you have achieved! Well done on day 17 jemi!

On Day 17 as well

Hi Jemi

I'm also on day 17 and I feel so good that I've come this far. Had one slip up, but since then I have been determined to be a non smoker.

I've noticed that I seem to be coughing quite a bit and my nose if constantly running. Not sure how long this will last, but keep thinking it's a good sign.

Keep up the good work.

Heres the thread when i queried the flecks hehe i was on day 18 then

The running nose too! I didn't even mention that one because i had attributed it to a cold.

And the timing is right on, considering your post was from day 18. Im actually on day 18 now, passed the magic hour

Day 18 And Still Smoke Free

Hi All. Glad I'm not the only one who is having a constant running nose and cough. I know the cough can go on for quite some time as the lungs are getting rid of all that tar, but does anyone know how long the running nose last for? I've had it now for over a week. Without sounding cruid, at first I noticed little bits of blood in it but now it just clear (which I am assuming is a good sign!). I seriously can't go 10 mins without sniffing or blowing my nose!!

[nsd_user663_1704]

Yes I was the same, it's not bloody now but I am afraid it's changed again! terribly runny nose still and now it's *sorry* that thick greeny kind of yuk >_< sorry but you did ask ! ew

So my answer is, 29 days quit and it's still not gone also my throat is very dry, Just got to keep sipping water and when it's gone will be the healthiest we've ever been

[nsd_user663_1704]

Aw bugger >_< i been back on pain killers since yesterday because it's hurting again. though i just over did it the day before. feels better today though so will hold tight for a bit.

Hows you boudee? missed you yesterday, hows beloved pooch bearing up?

[nsd_user663_1686]

I Suppose I did ask!!!

Hi Bufffy & Boudee

GOOD MORNING. Thanks for the advice. I got one of those face steamers bought for me a couple of Christmas' ago and it has been sat in my cupboard since. I'll give it a go.

Yes I am still here and my confidence of never going back to smoking is growing by the day!! Never thought I would hear myself say that.

My old man had the flu and decided to share, so I was off work last week, ill in bed. So I didn't get a chance to post anything.... but this week I'm fighting fit.

I do hope the steamer works because constantly clearing my throat and blowing my nose is taking it's toll. Especially at work, I'm carrying around tissues everywhere I go!

WISHING ALL EX-SMOKERS A HAPPY SMOKE FREE DAY

[nsd_user663_1686]

Thanks For Advice!

Hi Boudee. Not sure I'll be able to do it 3 times a day because of work, but if I do it before I go and when I come home, hopefully it will do the trick as it's driving me up the wall!!!

Buffy hope your feeling better soon. Take Care

[nsd_user663_1704]
