I just put this into Jillars post and will re post it here.
I am so sorry you are not feeling any better and really proud of you for keeping your quit !
I didn't feel great at three months. I was proud of myself for quitting and amassed my power from that but, I was still struggling.
I don't think many people feel Great until the year is over and life settles into the new 'normal', smoke free.
Then, for me, I realized how great I actually felt and how the struggle was worth it.
How many years did you smoke ?
How long are you nicotine free ?
It is unrealistic to think that you are going to feel GREAT in three months.
You should be feeling better and better as time goes on and you have less craves and triggers to conquer.
Many of us felt the lethargy and the brain fog. This passes, you just have to live through it.
The Great Smoke Free Mental Fog
Quitting smoking changes you. A little weight gain is normal. Get moving. This will energize you out of the lethargy too.
There are many reasons that could explain your gums and your other issues but, you really should consult medical professionals.
Not knowing what is wrong is much more stressful than knowing and taking steps to heal yourself.
Smoking often hid physical issues that needed attention and now, without the veil of smoke, it is time to address this.
