So I am on day 9 and doing really well with it so far. One thing I have been experiencing is a bunch of breakouts since quitting. I have acne prone skin anyway, but I don't usually get more than one at a time every once in a while. I've been coming out in bumps almost every day since I quit. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen from quitting. I'm a little freaked out about it, as I scar very easily.
I am eating really really healthy and drinking lots of water and it's still happening. The only thing that has helped has been running every day. Getting the blood going the heart rate up every day. I also went to the sauna for 30 minutes a couple of times to help sweat out toxins. It's helping. It has pretty much stopped it in it's tracks in the past couple days. For now, we'll see. I feel like the sauna thing helps immensely.
I would love to hear from any of you out there who have had a similar experience. I'm wondering how long this may last. I smoked for 8 years, so I'm guessing this detoxing will be going on for some time. I hope I can keep it from giving me full blown acne. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, if this keeps up I'll be in better shape than I've ever been in my life before it's all said and done lol.
I'm trying not to get upset about the breaking out. I know that it has to be a temporary bump in the road, and once I'm past it I'm gonna be healthier than ever. My skin will be better than ever. Eventually. Hopefully.
Keep the positive attitude right? That's what matters. Hope everyone is having a beautiful, wonderful, magical smoke free day. 😉 Thanks for any responses!
