Well, here I am on day 7, it has come round quickly! My quit day was saturday, and I went out sunday for lunch with some friends, followed by a few pints of Guiness (On all my quits I have never shyed away from alcohol), and ended up pinching one off a mate, smoked half of it, and prompltly had stern words with myself! Have not been tempted since!
It always amazes me how much more alert I am during the withdrawal period. Walking down the street I seem to notice so many more things, like a bird singing, silly stuff like that. Something that repulses me about smoking is that even on the 7th day I am still coughing up gunk leading me to think how minging then that smokers must just have a permanant level of the horrible stuff that just sits there inside them, how grim is that??!! More motivation if it was needed to stay off them!
Have really noticed a difference in my skin too, which is alot clearer, and I don't seem to to sweat as much either (both in the gym and and in general)!
One thing that does concern me is that I seem to have tripled my intake of coffee, and am now drinking it right the way through the day rather than just the morning as I used to! So gonna try and curb this as I move into the second week.
Its good to read everyone is helping each other through the tough times, this forum is definately one of the best means of support. We are not alone!
Take care folks, and keep up the good work, whatever stage you are at!
