Today I'm continuing to deal with my quit. It's been a hard day, but I've been told to saddle up, brace myself and BE PREPARED for just this....hard days. Days where I subconsciously want to smoke because it became second nature to me. I'm laughing at my craves as I promised although I still feel no joy. I still feel like I'm missing something. Lets face it right now I am.
Today my throat started feeling sore. I really haven't been coughing yet and not excreting any phlegm yet (not trying to be gross...just honest) Is this normal??
I was hoping to see this post!!!
Congratulations on a beautifully budding quit!
The body does go through a lot of changes when we quit, usually very positive ones. As for the coughing, the funny thing for me was I had coughing fits before I quit, but never had much afterwords. I'd treat it like any ailment if it were me.
And the joy is coming. It's right over the horizon. In fact, it won't be long before you're feeling proud of your accomplishment. Keep fighting!! It's well worth the effort!!
ONWARD TO FREEDOM!!!
