I can walk down my driveway and to the mailbox and back without being winded so there’s that. I’ve had a couple of pretty bad cravings but they were manageable. Keeping your mind occupied helps a lot, something I learned in rehab but never used.
congrats, that is great news and it’s really affirming to see positive feedback from one’s actions.
i’m on day 6 of a two-week thc break and i don’t have a morning cough and the irritability has subsided a lot. i’m starting to have dreams again and i’m getting more sleep (cuz i’m not enjoying late night high gaming) and it’s nice to not have to smell stanky weed smoke residue. we’ll see if i want to resume daily use after the break; so far, i’m not craving it. it eventually just becomes routine.
Congrats
I’m happy to hear you’re doing better
Thanks

It just keeps getting better the longer you go without as well! I had a hard time sticking with quitting at first because I’d stop for a week or three and my breathing didn’t immediately get better, so I figured smoking wasn’t the main cause (because I desperately craved them and would tell myself anything). After the second month I felt so much better it was undeniable.
Either way, congrats on the progress! And good luck on continuing to kick ass!
Yeah when I quit smoking I didn’t hang around long enough to see the lung improvement because I transitioned over to vaping.
Oof yeah that’ll do it. Vapes are somehow even more insidious than cigarettes, which is almost impressive on the part of big tobacco

You got this, keep it up. You’ve passed the hardest part and if you can make it another 9 you’re scott free.
Pay attention to your sense of smell and taste as well. It starts coming back in gradually. I remember eating an orange after quitting smoking and it blowing my mind.
for me it was a two step process. first was cigs to vape. that was a hell of a difference. in 6 mos I was able to conquer the hardest high altitude hike/bouldering in my state
then the next was actually stopping the vape. it wasn’t as dramatic but still noticeable (although happened alongside getting covid so that might have muddled things)
definitely keep occupied, focus on hobbies (even resurrect ones you forgot about if you can!). eventually you will just stop thinking about it, and then you won’t even remember what it felt like
definitely keep occupied, focus on hobbies
Yeah that’s what I’m trying to do
Hell yeah comrade. Proud of you.
I empathize. I know exactly how hard it is to do what you’re doing.

Today, the block you live on; tomorrow, the world!
fuck yeah I just hit a little over a month. 🦾 we got this shit bro.
That being said I’m going to a music festival next week and my confidence that I can make it through without succumbing to the nic is low.
I hope you can make it and ty
fuck yeah! congrats to you, keep it up!
