For you none smokers here, you are probably thinking, "and? whats your point?"
For me it is pretty darn awesome.....
I am not out of the woods, (i don't believe i will ever be out of the woods, 20 years, 20 a day). But i have made 3 weeks cold turkey with no suppliments.
I am already smelling things better. My running has MASSIVELY improved. From 55 mins for a 6 miler down to 49 mins. That was within a week of giving up.
So this is an advert to all those smokers out there, that wont to give up, but are waiting for the right motivation.
The motivation for me, was a gaurateed date in 6 months (bizzare and thankfully not the only reason), my brother in law also giving up. And a race in two weeks time. (that was two weeks from when i first gave up).
Although i feel awesome for not smoking, the cravings are still bad, I still struggle every evening. But the awesomeness of making it this far, makes the point of the next cig seem pointless.
Pretty hard to explain........but the point of this thread........I AM WEAK.....if i can make it this far....with the right motivation........
Anyways. Good luck to all you smokers out there that want to give up. If any want to chat about motivation, reasoning (my mind played many tricks on me on the last few weeks), or just general support (I need it every bloody day). Send me a pm
My friends and family have helped massively.
