rough evening...

[lynn85]

Its been a full day now and its seems to get a little more rough in the evening. I dont mean to complain, just venting

But..the end result is I have not smoked all day and dont intend too...however, I have found myself today thinking "I'm already sick, whats the point now of putting myself through this when the damage is done". I know thats just negative thinking or maybe the lack of nicotine talking? Either way ..tomorrow starts a new day. Day 2.  A smoke free day. Good night all, thanks for allowing me to vent and congrats to all of those who got through yet another smoke free day...I will conitnue to tell myself what I learned from the rest of you....N.O.P.E.............Thank you..:)

I'm thinking it's probably the nico-demon talking!!!  Stay strong, for every second, every minute, every hour you make it without smoking is the biggest accomplishment!  Be proud and congrats on the beginning of the best journey of your life!

Congratulations on getting through your first day smoke free!  It sounds like the nicotine talking Lynn.  Quitting now is the best thing you can do for yourself. You won't do more damage.  Maybe some of the damage you have will reverse with time. The human body can do such amazing things!   Hang in there. Keep coming here instead of lighting up. I'm so proud of you!  Have a beautiful smoke free day 🙂

That is indeed the addiction talking. Although I am healthy right now.....I have no idea what damage has already been done in 40 years! I decided going into this - "Better late than never" . I also decided I would rather be sick and smoke free than sick and smoking - in other words, even if I had the same number of days left to me - it is so much better being FREE! Congrats on your quit!
