Well I have done it!
I have taken the plunge!
My last cigarette was at 9 pm on Sunday January 17th, 2021!
It has been a week.
Yes I miss it. Sometimes I still want a cigarette, but it is mostly from habit than the need for nicotine.
I still go outside. I can not stay cooped up in the house. I breathe deep. Oh the fresh air and lung capacity that has improved! I can not breath deep with out coughing! I actually have not coughed for a few days now.
Back in June I got a chest cold. It did not last to long, but a cough has lingered since then. I knew I needed to quit, but just going cold turkey scared the crap out of me.
Then someone showed me the, Easy Way by Allen Carr
Took me two weeks to read it, but let me tell you. I did not Panic when I was down to my last Cig. I happily gave it all up! It has been a lot easier than I anticipated.
So if you are wanting to quit, tossing around the idea of quitting, or anything in that general direction I highly suggest this book.
I would love to know if you have quit smoking, what your obstacles were, how you overcame the "habit" part of wanting a cigarette.
Oh and for the curious. Prices of a pack of cigarettes went up $2.00 per pack on January 1st. I could not afford them before let alone adding on $20.00 per carton. So it really was an incentive to quit. I have quit putting nails in my coffin and I feel Great!
