Day 9

[nsd_user663_62509]

Still going strong!

Went to the pub last night. Not tempted at all BUT discovered taste buds are coming back in the weirdest of ways.

I actually hate the taste of lager...... DARN IT!!!

Hope everyone's doing well!!

Doing great Phil.....9 days already!

Yeah, things do sure taste different....I'm sure your taste for lager comes back (at least I hope it does). If not, a pint of cider?

I guess it's all part of you re-learning yourself now you've escaped from a nasty evil addiction

Wishing you a great day

aaah to be able to taste your lager...

I found everything tasted wierd for a while, even things I really like. I think it was probably something to do with my brain having to reprogramme so hopefully it will be the same for you and your taste for lager will return.

Well done Phil! You're steaming ahead...

Well as the days going on, I'm really feeling sicky and yukky.

Hope it's nothing but is it normal? Can almost feel the phlegm in my throat. Horrid feeling.

Poor you, Phil

Of course, it isn't always quit-related. There's a cold doing the rounds at present and you may have just come down with something. However, I certainly had that phlegm thing. It was at its worst at around the 10 day point for me so it does sound simillar.

How are you feeling this morning? Better I hope. If not, my advice is pamper yourself and do as little as possible. Drink lots of water to flush it out of your system.

The improvement of taste took me by surprise too! I went off pizza and white wine - but you will discover all sorts of things that you'd forgotten how good they taste, with me it was things like marmite on toast (Sorry Deb!) smoked haddock and mash potato, oh, and real butter. Do you like real ales? There are so many out there it's worth a go - you might discover a new hobby

phile

the phlegm is a pain..in th neck ! literally !!!

ive been coughin **** up since my 3rd day !! and still continue to !!

i just keep telling myself, its years of sins being cleaned up....its gonna take a while !!

whatever you do, don't take a cough suppresant pills or syrup !! its not medical but friendly advice, if the damn crap needs to get out, let it !!

i know it sux, my throat is coarse and irritable for hours at an end evey day between episodes of coughing up crap!....i just sip water, no mints or tictacs or throat lozenge or anything like that.

but then...just stick with it man it should all be worth it !!
