I thought it would be the end of that and wouldnt have any withdrawal effects. Week 1 was okay and I actually felt good about not needing a pack everywhere with me. By the end of summer i was disgusted with myself, habits and how i looked (bloating/weight gain, tobacco stink) and felt (hangovers, depressed, low energy) so it wasn't an issue to quit: smokes (along with liquor and junk food) cold turkey as i had prepared mentally and wasn't enjoying them anymore. To top it off this summer went on a total bender = full on junk food, heavy drinking (not talking about water) and heavy smoking (2 packs a week). However this year had to deal with stressful shit so started smoking on and off every few months (slippery slope as in "cant hurt if i have just one, anyways i already quit so not addicted anymore" to then buying packs). Smoked daily 4 years but managed to quit cold turkey and maintained that for 2 years (yeay!). Same thing with the drinking: I only had 3 throughout the night: didn't get wasted, didn't do anything foolish AND awesome: didn't wake up the next day with a hangover and still had fun (without looking cool and rebellious without my cigs)! It felt amazing!īackground (Female / late-twenties here btw): ![]() At first I was tempted, but NOPE! I actually didn't feel like one and realised i made it over 1 month without smoking and have been freaked out by all the withdrawal effects. At pre-drinks: people were smoking indoors so no escape from that ciggie smell and then at the venue. For me both go hand in hand and was so sure I would fail and have that "just one". The withdrawal effects have also freaked me out and so I decided to write this to not forget what the first 2 months smoke-free have been like as a reminder to NEVER EVER EVEEEER smoke EVER again and not have to go through quitting a third time!Īlso last Friday was a test: i went out for the first time since quitting smokes and drinks. Reddit and these threads have been massive support while quitting (no one in my social circle understands and also this has been helping getting past and understanding the crazy withdrawal symptoms).īeen smoking on and off this year and feel so stupid for having picked up smoking in the first place.
