3 months!

smoke free!

woot!


I'm quite pleased. This is the longest I've gone without smoking since I started when I was 17. eep!


My sense of smell and taste have improved somewhat. I discovered that recovering your sense of smell isn’t always a good thing. There are a LOT of nasty smells in the world. Bleh. That, and nearly everything in the world is too salty. I’ve never been a fan of salt and I don’t put it on anything but now I’m REALLY conscious of it.

Sadly, I’ve not noticed any other physical changes, really. I caught a bad cold about a month ago and I’m still coughing and hacking up crap every morning, so that part hasn’t really gone away yet. Other than I’m definitely gaining weight. Which I expected. So, oh well.


In any case, yay me!!!!! Here’s to the next 3 months smoke-free!

Got this from a stop smoking website:

What Happens to Your body if you stop smoking Right now?
by Wade Meredith on July 19th, 2006


I think one of the main reasons it’s so hard to quit smoking is because all the benefits of quitting and all the dangers of continuing seem very far away. Well, here’s a little timeline about some of the more immediate effects of quitting smoking and how that will affect your body RIGHT NOW.

In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.

In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.

In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.

In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.

In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.

In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.

In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half
.
In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.

In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

So, you have more immediate things to look forward

Self-pity is an excuse to do nothing. To appeal to sympathy for pity's sake is to seek affirmation of the choice to do nothing

Thanks, guys!

There was a time in my life I never, ever thought I'd be able to do this. Now I'm pretty positive I'll never go back to smoking.

Just clean the kitty litter box more often.

And start showering every day, insteadof just once every three days.

Stinky.
