Hi all, I quit smoking on November 15, 2023, 79 days ago...but who's counting, right? Let me tell you, I was googling anything and everything about "quit smoking", to see if what I was going through was normal, to make me feel better I guess. Maybe hoping that I felt like real crap so I wanted everyone else to feel like crap? Not cool but honest. Any way, this site was a real life saver for me, hearing all your stories everyday. My anxiety in the first 3 days was over the top, I wanted to jump out of my skin. All of a sudden, having to deal with life without my nicotine hit? My husband was there for me, to handle everything silly little thing that was causing my anxiety. But all your comments about how things get better, taste buds, sense of smell, deeper breathing, wanting to go outside and walk around, it's all true. I can't believe how good I feel and I want to shout it from the rooftop.
