4 weeks since I quit smoking and 3 weeks into my cycle

After 14 years of 1+ pack a day, I gave it up 4 weeks ago. Kind of helped that I started my cycle a week later to give me something else to focus on.

Am I still tempted? rarely, but I dreamed about it one night

Do I feel better? No, but I dont cough anymore

Did my strength go up? I am on a heavy cycle...what do you expect

Why did I quit? Not for some ideal like good health or being politically correct...I gave my word..and well, that means everything.

To all those out there who still light up, if I can do it...You can too!
You may not live longer, but you will certainly smell better.

i quit a christmas but ive smoked three times since, i hate it, every time is when ive had some beer and all my mates are smoking my will power just disapears ahhhh, but i wont smoke again when im sober so thats a bonus, any how well done on quiting i know how hard it is.

All my friends from the UK go crazy here as smokes cost 50P a pack. That about US $1

50 pence feck me thats cheap is that for 10 or 20? still cheap either way.

20 a

congrats.
I smoked up to 2 pack a day fon and off from the time iwas 15-21.

I told myself i'd quit by my 21st b-day.
got prescribed some wellbutrin to help me out, and low and be hold several years later i'm clean.
It really does help working out aftewr you quit. Thats exactly what i did.
Every time i wanted to re-lite up i just though how bad my lungs would hurt while on the treeadmill the next day.
My hat is off to you. Great job, and i'm sure your family appreciates it more than you know

congrats and good luck on keeping your word. I just made a full year of being quit. I smoked a pack a day for a little over 10 years.

i used 2 smoke from time 2 time but i never feltr its hard 2 give up smoking i hear alote of people taking about how they suffer 2 give it up but i never felt so but wish u best of luck bro keep going

Good decision with the smoking, keep up to good work. Almost a year for me after 12 years, best health decision I ever made.

hey screw the smokes bro's, some dude drives a new mercedes every year cos people buy smokes from his company and what do you get out of it, oxygen starvation at best cancer at worst, raw deal huh, quit now make the fcuker drive a two year old mercedes for a change, i smoked 25 years my squats improved dramaticaly after a week of quitting, 2 and hlf yrs down the line never go back ill buy my own merc with the money i save.....fcuk you mr tobacco boss.

Same here bro dont smoke when sober but when boozin 1 or 2 every once in awhile. Keep it up kick da habit !

good work guy, i'm at the 4 month mark, the coughing persisted for me for about 3 months

good for you bro stay strong!!!! dont give in no matter what.

Screw tobacco. Better off delivering oxygen to your body now anyways. Marijuana lives for ever though?

quit 2 years ago after 16 years of smoking. Best thing I ever did. Ever.
Like Speed said: dont give in no matter what.
(and you grow better when you don't smoke :P)
