This is the first time since quitting 5 months ago that I've been sick .It has been so much better to heal and rest without having to go out to smoke and feel even worse after smoking .Especially when I lived in upstate ny ,I would bundle up and go out in the cold to smoke even when sick . My body is thanking me for quitting..My symptoms don’t seem as harsh as when I smoked and came down with a winter cold . keeping it moving .Everthing is better being nicotine free.
