This is the 7th day that I'm free of cigarettes.

I've done it 6 years ago as well after a week being completely knocked out with painkillers (surgery on both feet, pins in toes etc etc...)
Unfortunately a rough divorce full of harassment drove me back to it.
Now that the ex-husband is completely out of the picture, peace is back in my life.

Running, diving, an anti-cigarette buddy and another anti-cigarette best friend (I've been hiding to both chaps I smoked and I felt so guilty and ashamed for that) and being tired of washing my hair each time one of them came to visit me, were the motivational triggers to go for it again.
Completely isolated, nobody around me to get on their nerves, nobody to irritate me. But also: nobody to support me when it gets difficult...
No patch, no e-cig, no help what so ever. Lots a fruit and vegetables (on a diet at the same time to keep those Corona kilos under control).

There... I'm entering week 2 now.
 
keep up the good work.....it will pay off in the long run.. financially and your body will thank you...you can afford to dive more.
 
One step, one hour, one day at a time...you are not alone!! I do not know you...but I am proud of you!!
 
Good for you. You won't smell bad anymore (well, cigarette smell, anyways). I didn't know how bad they smelled until I quit and then smelled it on other people. Yuck.
 
Good!
 
One of the hardest things around to conquer. Good on you. And best of luck. you can do this!!! I am also expecting a week two update.
