Imfreeagain1 Day Smoke Free
2 Replies

Just joined this group after some googlefoo looking for benefits to being smoke free after 3 days.

I’m 48 and have smoked since I was 16. I’m going cold turkey, no patches or drugs etc. Last time I gave up was about 3 years ago and lasted about 6 months and I remember how well I felt, almost invincible. Skin tone was great , not that grey sickly look and circulation was so much better, no aches.

I think it was 2 weeks after quitting that I really started noticing the difference but I’ll keep you posted. I’ve already gone through the physical withdrawal on the 2nd night smoke free which involves the cold sweats and restless sleep.

I’m snacking like a lunatic so will need a routine but it’s great to be free!

Welcome Imfreeagain , congratulations on 3 days smoke free, well done!

The snacking is perfectly normal as your new found taste and smell returns, enjoy :P

Have a read of the pinned posts, below is worth a read if not already done so which shows the benefits after we stop:
