10 Months Quit :-)

[MMoo]

Hey non smokers,

I'm doing my monthly check in. 10 months now without a fag and definitely don't feel like having one.

I still have waves of shortness of breath and anxiety. I called in to the doctors for a chat about my SOB and cough and he assures me, even at 10 months this is still quite normal.

I done a peak flow test and just about maxed the machine out at 780!

I'm now looking forward to my year quit birthday, can't believe how quickly time has gone.

I hope everyone is doing ok and all those now starting this journey it can be a real tough ride, but it will be so worth it in the end!

Just hang on tight and quit support will help you though every step of the way.

I am on my 12th day. Congratulations on 10 months. This site is helping me so much I go to a Stop Smoking Nurse but find that support from other people who have smoked is more helpful because they are speaking from experience. Sleep disturbance has been my main problem so far. Thanks for your post.

[MMoo in reply to yorkiepam]

Thanks Yorkiepam,

Well done on 12 days, I found that if I could get though the first few days I knew I could go all the way.

I also struggled with sleep, some mornings I would be up at 3 am and others I would struggled to get out of bed. Really messed me up. But now my sleeping habits are fine. (struggle to get out of bed lol)

12 days now Pam, your doing just great, keep up the good work x

[yorkiepam in reply to Briarwood]

Thank you. First thing in the morning is still the worst, my first thought is I am awake it is cigarette time. Hoping that will get better as the weeks go on.

[droopyJ in reply to yorkiepam]

it will get easier and soon you'll forget that's what you used to do. do something different in the morning, change your routine if you can

[droopyJ in reply to yorkiepam]

Well done Pam , 12 fantastic days

[yellowsnowdrop in reply to yorkiepam]

Well done!! That really is amazing!!

I am nearly at my 7 month quit which has been a challenge, but I am still vaping!! Think I've gone from one addiction to another!!

I am asthmatic, and when I smoked, I had a chest infection every 6 weeks!! Now, I haven't had one for the whole of my quit time, but I do still have shortness of breath. I have put weight on too, but I have also been given a new tablet of HRT, which makes you put on weight, so hey ho!!

But again, well done!!

[beardy_chris in reply to Hidden]

I think we may have a misunderstanding in slang!

UK slang: fag = ciggie

US slang: fag = homosexual

This could be the cause of some confusion!

[MMoo in reply to beardy_chris]

Arr haha. I could see how this could cause of some confusion!

[Hidden in reply to beardy_chris]
