In the month that I have been a nonsmoker I have noticed:
- I feel empowered- proud of myself like I can do anything. I am able to hold my head high and know that I am no longer slowly killing myself.
- I can smell my perfume throughout the whole day- and have gotten compliments on how good I smell!
- I was active before but now can run 9k in 35 minutes, withoiut walking at all. Once I quit smoking I was able to make exponential progress with my fitness- it is easier to breathe and muscle recovery is at least twice as fast.
- I can go to a movie and enjoy the entire thing, without having to miss bits and pieces to go out onto the freezing cold (Alberta) winter weather,
- I am more relaxed because I am free, my body isn't craving something every half hour that interrupts the flow of my day- I can complete tasks at work and school without interruption.
- Food tastes unbelievable!! Everything, no need to eat super sugary foods anymore, fruit is enough- I never knew an apple could taste so good!!
- I have saved almost enough money to buy a new pair of boots, yay
- It is getting so much easier, I no longer 'want' to smoke, and am less and less trying to convince myself of this- it is becoming a subconscious thought!
Downfalls
- Smoking friends are not very supportive- I think because they wish they could do it but are afraid!!!
- Nothing else, there are NO REAL downfalls of quitting, these are temporary... I hope!! lol.
