Today will mark my first week smoke free in a very long time. I was late getting started today and had to run several blocks to catch my bus in time. While reminding me I should probably exercise more it also was an excellent reinforcer about some of the reasons I hated smoking. I was short of breath and had a gross hacking cough by the end. A well received reminder. I have already felt my lungs start to heal, but here is proof I have a ways to go to fix what I've done to them. I know I can't get there though and am excited to continue on this healing journey. Here's to another smoke free week!

I am excited for the journey ahead of you. As you experience with wonder the first full on sprint you do, then realize you don't cough. The first real deep breaths you take, where you can't believe THAT is what a deep breath really feels like.  

 

Massive congrats on your first full week free of nicotine, you have done an amazing thing for yourself.

I get it...I understand the "I made it a day!...I made it 3 days!!...I MADE IT A WEEK :yahoo: !!!  And I also understand your thoughts of "gotta keep going".  Way to go Rooster, I'm happy for you.

So good to know you are still with us and doing so well!  Attitude when quitting is everything and your attitude is awesome!  It's magical when people have been quit a short time and it dawns on them, often for the first time, that quitting is doable.  Most of us felt like it wasn't for so long.   Keep marching forward and remember what you hated about smoking when you have a bad moment.

Rooster, I remember in the beginning all of a sudden I felt like there was extra space in my lungs and that I could breathe in deep without coughing like a maniac.

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.
