Just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that I'm still smoke free and doing great! Been busy with work and home life! Quitting is still the best thing I've ever done for myself, and don't miss it at all. That's not to say that I never think of cigarettes because I do (no...not to smoke them) but just in general. Just more of remembering that was something that I used to do! I still want to lose more weight, and once I do that I'm good to go!
My advice to those just starting your quit is to hang in there. Take one day at a time...it does get easier. Read Allen Carr's book because so many things will make sense. My biggest take-a-way from that book was that smoking a cigarette will not benefit you in any way. Meaning if you go for a smoke because your sad, you're still going to be sad after you smoke it. Smoking it doesn't change the situation...and that goes for any emotion (sad, angry, depressed...etc).
I wish everyone quitting success!
634 days smoke free, and looking forward to a smoke free tomorrow!
