Benefits after 5 Days Smoke Free

[TheNewMe_Jo]

I dont wake up hackin up fur balls every mornin

I don't cough now- cept an occasional "junk in my lungs release'

I saved about 30.00

I don't get stressed out about HAVING to go outside

or get hot in the heat

or If I have enough smokes to last til tomorrow

I am more layed back, not edgy

Zoey isnt sneezing

I dont smell like smoke

I smile more

I CAN SING REALLY LOUD WITHOUT COUGHING

i DONT FEEL RUSHED TO HURRY AND EAT FAST just so I cango out and smoke

I took the trash out today without getting winded WOW

I cleaned the whole salon without a break.

Im not "hiding" in my cave, or in my back yard puffin my life away

Ive made positive choices'

My best friend quit smoking too

I was more relaxed when doin nails yesterday (more productive)

I dont have to blow my nose 5 times in the mornin, every mornin

My voice sounds better

Dont have to clear my throat all day long

Curl my nose up in disgust when I even smell smoke

My 5 days without smoking have brought me so much...

This is just what I notice, off the top of my head 🙂

Congratulations Jo! Very proud of you! YAY JO! (I just high-fived ya) 😉 I can relate to each & every positive. You left one out though....In the winter, going outside & freezin' your butt off just for a few drags! No thanks. I'll stay toasty warm inside! & save my lungs. Very happy for you girl!

Thanks, you too! HIGH 5

Well, I smoked inside my house, til just a few months ago, THAT was a huge step.. I was weening myself off them, plus I just couldnt stand the smell no more, my little dog too.

I even cheated, went to the bathroom and puffed out the window when it was over 100 here, I saw myself in the mirror doin that and thought how very sad I looked

Just for the fun of it, and cause I CAN Im just inhaling and deeply exhale, almost like a sigh, I used to hear whistling sounds when I did that before, thats gone now too.

My 5th day of not smoking what I have noticed so far.  I feel less edgy, more energetic, more productive, my food tastes better, I can run better and longer, I just feel over all healthier.  I thought I would be crazy during my first week but it’s been a lot easier getting through my days without smoking then it was before I quit.

I have anxiety. I guess from not smoking. I'm doing deep breathing. But it's awful!

[CW64]

I've lost my appetite.

@CW64 I'm glad I came across your post.  Day 6?  That's fabulous.   You've just eliminated nicotine and thousands of chemicals from your body.  It's going to react.  It's part of the healing process and you're doing it!

There are numerous physical, emotional, and psychological withdrawal symptoms. It will take time, but it will get better.  Hang in there.
