Brandon again, another milestone, 9 months today! feels good! Can now say im pulling out of the funk. I never listened to my body when I was a smoker, (not that my fat ass had much to say lol) Now a days im listening, and its taken a while to decipher its language. Now I can tell what is causing the issues through experimentation and research. I also tried to quit caffeine and soda pop at the same time, then I discovered doing that threw off my acidity, and caused aweful acid reflux, which promptly quit after I drink a pop every other day or so. Ill deal with that craving later.... The smoking is in the past, no desire, no crave, its repulsive now, cant stand to see people smoking, or god forbid smell them, and thank god its not me anymore. Ive come to terms that ive damaged my body, irreversibly as well. I now know that I can only try to better myself through excersize and healthier living. There is a certain devotion that I feel to myself, that I owe it to myself to be better and get better. I realize now that's all I can do. Learn the language of my body, take action when needed. I feel in another three months at my solo 1 year free party, I will have almost 100% normalized after quitting. I was in denial as I think a lot of you are as well, that its not gonna take that long to feel amazing. Years and decades of poisoning and damage, simply cannot go away so fast... The body must take its natural course to healing, and we have to live with it until it can, and all we can do is try to help it along the way. A solid year or more is what its gonna take, plain and simple. Re writing ones body chemistry plays tough on us. Cell die-off is hard on the lymphatic system. Especially the nerve cells which take the longest to regenerate. Our bodies absorbed all those 4000+ chemicals we inhaled 20+ times a day every day for years and decades. Now the body has to rid of all that c**p, and its tough on us. Give it time!

Strange I quit 2 weeks ago and my breathing is much better. I am definitely more emotional and anxious and depressed. It's like losing a friend after smoking for 25 years. I really want to stay quit this time. I am feeling better unlike so many saying in the comments that they are feeling worse. Possibly the one big difference could be I bought tobacco additive free and rolled my own with an electric roller. Every once in a while I would buy a pack of cigarettes and would always cough more. I quit this time because I had bronchitis and could hardly take a breath and was wheezing so bad. After two weeks of not smoking all that is way better. I am still having anxiety and am rather weepy though. Hopefully that will get better in time.

Stay quit, but honestly the proverbial sh*t storm in on the horizon, hope its smooth sailing for you but it probably wont be, and we wont sugar coat it. You will need to come back here for support. I think most of us felt awesome up until a month or so in, and then your body will really start to heal and rebuild, and its going to throw you for a loop. Good Luck! and Stay Quit, but strap in and be ready for things to get a little crazy! Do come back and let us know how you are doint

I think its normal and that's what i had during my earlier stage of quit.. Go for a full body check up if u are worried. Thats what i did and everything is fine for me but still having those symptoms every now and then..

Going through the same thing. I quit smoking three months ago and I've never been sicker. Have no desire to ever smoke again just wish I would start feeling better

I have very little faith that hey will pass. I quit two YEARS ago, and to this day I feel worse than I EVER dis smoking. At this point the only reason I haven't gone back to it is the cost of it!! I know the body has to heal, but I have NO air, no breath, I hear pops and bubbles, and EVERY test they do shows my lungs are clear, no infection, etc etc etc

Worst bloody thing I ever did was quit!! Have felt like utter c**p EVER SINCE, and as I said, I quit two YEARS ago.

Never should have bothered.

Wow I am going through the same stuff. It’s been three years since I stopped. I have to take deep breaths all day. On an inhaler, sleep apnea machine. I wish I had never smoked. I’m actually scared the way I feel but in holding onto God with strong faith. Mimi

Amen! I couldn't agree more! I'm 26 days in and certainly have some bad days but am looking at the fact I am staring to have some great days! I'm so happy I made it this far, I could never light up again!
I smoked a pack a day for 38 years as a slve to nicotine and I NEVER EVER wann go back to that shitty addiction! Looking forward never back:)

Brandon again, im about to come to the end of my first year. 14 years pack a day. mid febuary is my year mark. after quitting I became hyper sensitive to all the other issues my body has with or without the smoking. The symptoms and issues the smoking masked, and the ones I had before, but now my mind has made them serious issues. I have spent the last six months training myself to stop making things worse than they are. and just taking it a day at a time. I find now my biggest issues are horrible posture. I work at a computer but I catch myself slouching sooo bad. and holding my shoulder up all day. Then even worse yet, I catch myself holding my breath, and then feeling out of breath, but its MY fault. Working now on correcting both of these. Even to this day, I don't THINK I feel much stress. im sure I do, but ive always had rough times in my life, so things never seemed to bother me much. even now I don't notice, but im sure its harder on me than before. I don't miss it anymore, sometimes I wish I could do it, just to do it, but I don't crave, the smell is aweful when im close to a smoker. I feel better in general, and I definitely get more done now :)
