I am at the stage now in my quit journey where I am feeling totally free from any desire to smoke. This is very liberating. I have saved so much money and am going to the gym instead. I am eating right too and sleeping soundly. It’s like a whole new world without cigarettes.
My advice to those trying hard to stop is to persevere because it is so worth it. Once you experience the benefits and there are many you won’t look back.
Even a simple cup of herbal tea with honey is amazing. You get back your taste, your sense of smell etc and overall you come alive again.
The trick also is to get creative and do interesting things with your time instead. Be positive and strong you can do this!
