Day 5

[Betty8787]

Me and my mum made up! Yay! I think falling out with her was stressing me out more than giving up smoking?! Maybe she did this on purpose....no she didn’t but also I showered today and have a spring in my step. I don’t feel AS tired and even though I went back to bed after I got up and ate breakfast I haven’t napped today!

I can definitely smell so much more?! And my taste is already improving! I can’t believe how strong some things taste?! I also feel ‘different’ - I don’t know how to explain it. Like less foggy, less heavy but like lightness and clean but inside?

Still no cravings. I definitely just don’t want to smoke! Maybe I just needed to want this? I’m feeling so positive and happy. And wondering why I didn’t do this years before now. I feel like I’m entering into a new world 🌍

Hope everyone else is feeling just as positive today whenever you are in your journey. Day 5 or day 30 - for me I just believe I’ve really beaten smoking! Maybe I’m still awaiting harder times...

I’ve struggled with a lot of break ups and still on no contact with the guy I liked. I read before heart break is like a drug withdrawal so considering I’m going though a double whammy I feel so proud of myself.

Whoop whoop! You are getting there!

Glad you made up with your Mum, this is good news indeed.

Keep going. You will feel better with each passing day. Keep an eye out for triggers, that is situations you associate with smoking.

Well done 👏👏👏👏😃😃😃😃

Mushen I feel like you’re my new BFF!! Thank you for taking this time for me - it means a lot. I have had a few awkward moments where i have thought ‘oh I’ll just go for a smoke’ but keep repeating ‘oh but I don’t do that anymore’. And I fully mean and believe this too! 💪🏼
