I had been a smoker for about 9 years now. I was smoking at least a pack and a half a day, when I decided enough was enough and I need to quit. I thought of all the bad stuff about smoking and then thought of all the money I would be saving if I did quit. I also before I quit smoking decided that if I did quit smoking that the money would go to something and I had a picture of it so I could look at it every time I wanted a smoke. My last smoke was last Thursday at 8 am and I haven't smoke one since then. I would say the hardest part about not smoking was the first day. Just do it! Get past the first day. Once you are past the first day it gets a lot easer. Every time I craved a smoke I just said to my self no, I don't want to start all over again. You just need to realize that you can't have a smoke in the middle of trying to quit. If you do you have to start all over again. Why torture yourself, just quit and don't pick up that cig. If you do smoke, just release that you need to start all over again and just do it. You will feel so much better.
I feel so much better now. I sleep better, breath better, smell better, taste better; everything is better now that I quit smoking.
Well I am having one problem. My favorite drink Dr Pepper doesn’t taste good anymore. It is way to sweet. Well I guess I will have to quit drinking soda's too. I do have to say I drink way too many of them in one day and not enough water in a day so maybe this will be another good thing about quitting smoking.
Good luck to all who is trying to quit. I know it has only been a few days for me (4 and counting), but I do have to say it feels so much better to not be smoking now. It is all up in your head. If you want to quit you can do it. Just quit and don't smoke.
I hope this will help anyone who is thinking or trying to quit smoking. It is the best thing I have done.
