A bit of encouragement for all

[Christa326]

Hi All!

 

I know this journey can be such a hard one so i wanted to share some of the greatness i have encountered during this quit, in hopes anyone struggling will read this and be motivated!!

I am happy to say this quit has been much easier than my last. During my last, i didn't want to leave my house for months. I was pretty miserable. Now, i notice my anxiety has gone down SO much and my shortness of breath (and it is only been 29 days) More pluses: my husband said my skin is glowing! (i know smoking was making me look "gray??") if that makes sense...i notice this in other smokers i know. I have so much more uninterrupted play/cuddle time with my kids. I do not have to wash my hands before play/cuddles (we love to cuddle in my house lol) or spray perfume all over myself, which only masked the stink anyway. I was on the train with my little girl and a smoker sat next to me, he smelled terrible...this is what i used to smell like i am sure! Lastly, i did have a health scare (which thank God turned out to be nothing) which is maybe why this time is easier,.BUT---trust me people, you DO NOT want to have that fear in your heart. Knowing full well you could have stopped this, prevented a sickness, by quitting. I have never been so scared while waiting for results, so please, keep up the good work everyone!

Oh Christa,

Thank you so much for posting such a positive thread.

You never know how a quit will go and I am so happy you have had a pretty smooth one.

Keep your vigilance locked and loaded, sometimes an unnerving or unexpected crave will throw you for a  temporary loop.

Drink deep from the bottomless cup of NOPE.

 

I am so glad you are sharing your quit with us, Christa !

Thank you so much and wishing you continued success in all you do.

You will be easy to spot....the woman with that marvelous glowing skin, so beautiful !
