10 or 11 days in. Have made it through 2 weekends now, and some stressful work-related stuff to boot.
Feeling like I can make it through anything without cigarettes if I so desire.
Starting to think about it less and less. Probably once or twice a day I get the urge, where I REALLY want one bad and it's all I can think about. That is usually gone within about 5 minutes and I feel great again.
Haven't gained any weight, been cutting back on the carbs and working harder at the gym to fend it off. Plus it's actually nice to go to the gym, cardio is SO much less of a chore now. I'm measurably stronger on the weights too.
Blood pressure before I quit was in the 135/85 ballpark, testing now in the 117/75 range. Triglycerides were also high, interested to see if they improve next doctor visit.
Definitely sleeping better. Food is better. Sex is better. It is easier to breathe and exercise. My car and clothes are cleaner. I'm saving more money. I'm noticeably healthier.
All in all, yeah it kinda sucked for awhile and still kinda does, but obviously 1000% worth it.

My congrats on this important change! I quit smoking a year ago. Still think it was my best desigions ever. Was a bit difficcult in the beginning, but it's mostly a psychological thing as you get used to hold something in your hands while chatting, thinking, just for a break. I read a book of Allen Carr, it didn't help immediately but put a seed into my head. I quit bcz I really wanted to, one day just woke up with this thought. Have been smoking for 12 years. Good luck!
