Yay ladies, go for it
I quit about 2 months ago, it wasnt/isnt easy, I got so drunk on a night out that I was sick for 24 hours & didnt smoke for 48 hours. So thought why go back?
I went to bed as early as poss to help with the cravings, bought lots of grapes, popped some of them in the freezer too! Had mints, sweets to hand aswell. I also found walking the dog theraputic!
Whilst I have put weight on, the constant hand to mouth/food obsession is slowing right down.
I have an e cig with 0% nicotine liquids, thought not much point swapping one addiction for another (but each to their own) as Id only have to give up the nicotine one day.
If you do opt for the cold turkey route, if you go in a sauna 3 days in a row the nicotine leaves your system quicker.
I went through a 20 pack most days, & I do miss it. I could so smoke and enjoy a cig but Im so proud of myself & Id HATE to have to go through all this again, that scares me!
I knew id put weight on, but if food helped my cravings, then so be it. If Im strong willed enough to give up smoking Im strong enough to loose the weight once smoking isn't my main thought.
I have treated myself to a massage, new bedding, 2 new dresses, 2 pairs of jeans & a couple of tops. So I feel the benefit of not smoking, I have things to show for it that make me feel better!
Ive yet to have a drink though!
Good luck xx
