I am really liking this non smoking life that I am living now.  So many things are coming together......

 

I have started to work out ALOT more.  My legs are sore.  My butt cheeks are sore.  And I keep working them out and this time I can push myself farther cause I can actually BREATHE !!!!  Before, I would have to stop to catch my breath. 

 

Yesterday, I worked out in my yard all day long and not once did I want to smoke.  I felt so good !!  I didnt' get tired.  I didn't feel winded.  My chest didn't hurt.  Nothing happened.  I did my yard work and when it was all done, I got to sit back and look at how much I got done.  Which was a whole lot more than what I used to do. 

 

I still have urges or craves, whatever you want to call them.  But they are so much easier to control now.  I immediately start thinking of all the things I like about not smoking and the craves go away.  Or I just ignore them and before I know it.... I'm not even thinking about them anymore.  (yes, Sarge, I'm listening).

 

I never ever thought I could ever feel this way.  I watch people smoke now and I am not jealous of them.  I feel kinda sorry for them.  I tell everyone that they can quit.  I hear so many excuses as to why they can't and my heart breaks for them.  They have no clue.  It's not the easiest thing, I do understand, but it's the bestest thing in the world.  Well besides having children.  Ok, its the second bestest thing in the world.  lol 

 

I am seriously loving this !!!!

 

And Bakon, I am praying for your wife every day.  I have changed my avatar to pink to honour her. I might be a litle late cause I haven't been on here as much.  But know that she's in my prayers every day.

I am so very pleased for you Tiff, you really do seem to have mentally turned a corner. You can read till your eyes bleed that it gets better, more normal (as it does) but nothing beats actually 'feeling it for yourself' does it? Cements the quit really, becomes a Womak quit....solid as a rock. This is just brilliant for you as I said made up for you xx

I´m not there yet, but I did get to be there at some point last year, and I remember how good it felt...

 

I want to be there with you.... and I know the way. It´s straight and narrow and it is signposted " N.O.P.E. "

 

Congratulations for reaching that beautiful place! :good:

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.
