Yes, of course, it's possible.  The benefits are real.

 

Physical activity helps in the quit process.  I took up running (well sort of shuffling while dying) to measure gains and the endorphins helped to negate some of the withdrawal symptoms. Highly recommend some sort of physical activity - walks, runs, gym, video - whatever works for you.

Breathing is better and the anxiety associated with nicotine addiction is evaporating.

Yay you.  Protect this beautiful quit of yours.

The benefits begin immediately and accumulate over time.  Trust the process and the process will reward you many times over.

 

Congratulations Christa.  Enjoy reaping the rewards of quitting.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
