Hobbies

Hi John, glad to hear things are going well for you. I pretty much did the same thing and just dove deep into hobbies that kept my mind well occupied away from my addiction. Great advice for anyone trying to kick this nasty habit.

Today

Hi John, keep up the great work. Sounds like you are doing well. Stay focused and don't let that nico devil trick you into thinking you can have just one. I have now really begun to notice how much my sense of smell is returning and I am really looking forward to this fall so that I can enjoy all the wonderful smells of that season.as it has been a long time since I have. As of now I am enjoying smelling all of those barbecues going that I was missing before and it's making me hungry. LOL Have a wonderful smoke free day!

Health Benefits

Good morning John! Ahh the awesome sense of smell. Isn't it great  having the sense of smell returning and realizing just how much of the little things in life you were missing because of a terrible addiction. Have you also noticed how much better food tastes as well. I sure have and it's absolutely fabulous. Keep up the good work, your doing great!

Quit nicotine15 days ago

I found that by focusing on all of the benefits of me not smoking also helped me through those times where the nico devil was calling me to come back. I can tell you this does get easier as time passes. Stay strong and take this one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Keep all of us posted on your progress it's an inspiration to all of us to hear such great success stories.

Hey John you are doing great keep up the good work. Indeed it is very exciting to be able to smell again and to regain tasting all my favorite foods. I always use that as a reminder to myself when I am tempted by the nico devil. These are the new things for me I don't want to give up again. Stay strong, you are doing great!!!!

45,000 Not smoked

WOW, nice job Timbo. Isn't it amazing that while you are a smoker you never give it any thought as to just how many cigs you are ingesting. Your body thanks you for the great job.

Pappy in triple digits

Hey Sparrow, nice to hear from you. Time does go by rather quickly doesn't it. Seems like it was just yesterday when I started this journey and look at me now. 115 days, never imagined it in the beginning.

One of the hardest things I?ve had to do...

Hi Ecostar ! your doing great. 18 days in and you are smoke free, that's fantastic! This is not only a physical addiction to nicotine but a mental addition as well. It's a huge change in our lifestyles when we have become so use to leaning on a smoke every time we have stress or have boredom in our lives. Now that you have removed that element from your life your brain needs to be retrained. It will take some time but each day the road gets just a bit easier and before you know it you will stop and say " Hey, I didn't even think about smoking today".  You are doing fantastic, keep up the great work. You can do this!
