Still going!!!!

So I’m now at day 16 from giving up a 15-20 cigs a day habit and doing it cold turkey!!

It feels like it’s getting harder tbh! I was buzzing the first week and this week I’ve struggled. I’ve had a lot more cravings, have been v moody, felt down and miserable, have been eating like it’s going out of fashion and have felt quite emotional!!! I wasn’t ready for all these feelings from just giving up cigs!!

On a positive note, I smell better, I can breathe a lot better, no longer get heart palpitations, can taste what I eat, have more money and have made my family proud of me!

I’m hoping that this tough bit will hurry up and pass so that I can crack on where I was and be happy and motivated...fingers crossed!!

Keep smiling 😁

Brilliant. Keep it up. I'm on day 17. Fatigue is reducing but the low mood won't go away. But I'm determined this time round
