One Week

[Gordon Grape]

To celebrate one week of no cigarettes, I bought a carton of Marlboros and chain smoked all day. I kid, I kid.

I've been craving a smoke all day for some reason. So, I kept myself busy reading a book. Then I ran some errands. A few people have said the craving would come and go sporadically in the first month and then go away.

That's where the vape really shows its magic. In past attempts, there was no way to drive that demon out of my head. Cold turkey was the worst. The patches and gum just never did it for me. With this thing, I can go outside and sort of pretend to smoke. The nicotine hit knocks the edge off and the act of vaping takes care of the rest. For me, it give me a minute to clear my head of that smoking demon.

Now, I can get one of those banners for my profile...

Good Job! It will get easier as time goes on. Welcome to being a non-smoker.

Congrats. stick with how you have it going and you'll see when the 31 days comes around...your body will begin to treat you well and not well since your body is getting rid of all those toxins in your lungs, nose, tongue, throat and the like.

Again, congrats!

Sidenote and completely off-topic:

The title of this thread reminded me of the Bare Naked Ladies song...now it's stuck in my head and hopefully yours, too. Love that song!
