Back, chest, shoulders. Walk 2 miles

I am at 14 months today. I will tell you how it feels now. I am relaxed. I do not want to smoke. I did not have a thought to smoke today. I am not suffering or missing anything. I do not look outside anymore where I used to smoke. I do not need to look for ways to distract myself. I do not feel like I am pretending anymore. If I think about smoking in the car, I chew a piece of gum. I did gain 25 lbs. from eating but I am on a diet.

I would say at about six months. I think I still had desires in places like the car or when drinking. I have come to realize that a physical cigarette would not satisfy the thought. A real cigarette would make me feel dizzy and sick.

I am happy I quit but I did not get to be the type of quitter who embraced the freedom right away and who finds the smell of smoke to be horrible and who never looked back. Instead I worked worked worked at it. I read like you to train my brain over over and over. I talked it out with friends and family. Slowly with time the missing the cig part ends. Some times still I think about smoking. But I do remind myself that I need to think about why I quit. I did so I would not get cancer or a heart attack or copd, etc. These are important reasons and they need to be in front of my mind to counteract the compulsion to have a cigarette.

Congrats! :)
