Day 30

[nsd_user663_61729]

Yes I am still smoke free. Did have a few days until recently when I came down with cold/flu like symptoms but glad to be feeling a lot lot better. Still have odd infuriating cravings for the weed. So i did a little self test...dug out an old ashtray I still had tucked away in my utility room which was smeared with the ash but no fag ends in there. Decided to take a good sniff...to remind myself of what they smell like and also to get a true indication of how much better my sense of smell now is.

I have just come back in the house from a much need few mins in fresh air. I didn't know how id react to the smell of cigs... But basically, I dry retched, coughed and had tears streaming from my eyes...all from one sniff. I don't see myself reaching for a cigarette ever again.

Hope your proud and having a treat to celebrate the month mark brilliant.

Yes I guess the smell was just rancid! But has just reinforced your commitment to your quit.

Hap hap happy for you

Definitely....no complacency here but once we get ourselves past those first couple of weeks it should be a lot lot easier to say no to the weed. Now at the stage where I don't see myself as quitting smoking...I call myself an ex-smoker and mean it.

Hope you stay strong too and win. The rewards are limitless.

Well done you! And what a good idea to sniff the ashtray!

You sound really in control of your quit. Many congratulations from me.

Much appreciated...truth be told...hardest days were days 1-4....slowly got easier after that. As of today...day 31...can't believe I am saying that! cravings for a cigarette are once a day now at worst.
