I went to the beach a few weeks ago and my husband and I enjoyed not having to pick up our nasty buds from the sand and then last weekend when we took the kids to the drive in theatre,(I thought it would be hard for me, it used to be one of my fav times to smoke) but it was not hard at all, it was so great to enjoy sitting outside without being that pesky smoking couple.
I completed 10 weeks at 8am this morning. Still got 3 weeks before I get to month 4 but I will be there. Feeling real good about this quit. Definately no going back.
I fancy going to the drive in. Unfortunately England forgot to invent them.
Well done all the Jan folk and everyone else of course
ForeverFree checking in to 4 months... Hooray !!! Still going strong and feeling amazing.. No craves at all, nothing but fresh air going into this lungs
Just looking at the date on the pc to see what day we are on for the quit, so.... i know 31st march was day 90, so add 10 days of April and we are on day 100..........OMG.........how good is that.
New years day quit for myself and the hubby as those of you who know me know!!!
I have not had one puff since then and I am so chuffed with myself. Hubby on day 98 got a tad stressed and succumbed to two drags of one then threw away in disgust!!!
I am now looking into pilates classes to help tone the weight that I have put on. I am not too concerned as I needed to put it on but where I never had a tyre I now have one!!! LOL........... that's a bit weird!!!
So to all in their journey, well done and carry on!!
I also quit on Jan 1 of this year. I am on month 4. I wish I could say that I am feeling fantastic but, alas, I can not.
I just got out of the hospital this morning. Dr. says that when you quit smoking your Scilla (sp) come back to life and you cough up the junk. I never did that on this quit and it finally came to a head last week and I ended up in the hospital for a week. Nothing slaps you in the face and makes you face your mortality faster than getting so sick you are bedridden for 10 days and counting. I am still very weak and not able to take care of myself but am just taking it as easy as I can..
Just a tip my Dr told me about. Pineapple juice helps revive the Scilla fibers. I am now having at least 2 glasses per day. Anything that helps.....
Congratulations to everyone else and keep on keeping on with the quit!!!! ppat
Going fine ,i have managed to realise the differance between" craving"and the memories of smoking,like getting used to not smoking in certan situations, when in the past i woulde always smoke.New season "now spring"i am doing things that i didn`t do in winter,and now iknow that i some times remember a ciggy but NO craving::) so no more PROBLEM;)
Still enjoying the non-smoking life without any problems. I particularly enjoy playing and cuddling with my daughters without feeling I'm breathing poison gas all over them and setting them a bad example.
Oddly, I have had dreams in which I have thoughtlessly lit up and then regretted it. Been very relieved to wake up and find that it was all a dream (they're very vivid dreams). Last month this was happening at least once a week and I'm sure Mrs D was going to have me bussed away if she woke up and found me sniffing all my clothes one more time!!!
Congrats everybody. Today is day 119 of the future....
Good to see another Jan quitter going strong Dapower.
I had a smoking dream last night. Cant remember anything about it really but it did mean I got up wanting a fag. No chance not gone all this time to waste it over a stupid dream. The craves nowadays are get fairly feeble, Think I've beaten them into submission.
Anyway I'm moving to a new room tomorrow so I must be on my best behaviour.
Hi all, am on month four too, hardly think about the weed and ran my first 5k race yesterday after some weeks of training. I appear to be a bit of a natural runner, gosh, giving up is so life changing, I never would have considered running. well done and good luck to all. S
I'm still a non-smoker. I've surprised myself with how well the whole thing has gone. I really don't miss it. However, I don't know about others but while I don't want to smoke there is a strange feeling as though there's something lacking. Has anyone else experienced this? It's not cigarettes I'm missing; I'm just wondering if it's a chemical thing.
Yes I used to get this strange empty feeling as you say as if something is missing. Then one day I was suddenly aware that the feeling had gone. I just put it down to one of the peculiarities of stopping smoking. It will go.
I don't come on here much, but just to say I'm still here and looking forward to getting to month six. Still get the odd craving especially at the minute when the sun's shining and it's barbecue weather, but no way I've come too far and I am so enjoying the freedom. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the lovely weather. A big well done to all the January Quitters.
