This is my 9th day without smoking. I took the opportunity of my surgery that made me pretty much unable to smoke for at least a week, now I feel like I could, but I don't want to.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I do miss it a lot. Well, they say the body needs 21 days without cigarettes to switch to the non-smoker mode... I hope I'll be strong enough...
Trust me mate it's all about willpower, you gotta outthink your own mind, force it to think things, in my opinion, and I am a very strong believer in this, there is no such thing as addiction, because literally, you CAN survive without it, and only the weak people give in to the "addiction".
I quit last January, it's been over a year for me, and i've never felt better, technically, I do still smoke though because I use these cigarettes for joints to smoke cannabis, the ridiculously light ones that aren't even f@#!ing cigarettes, the ones if you gave them to a criminal they would probably slap you in the face for insulting their throat, I used to use dried cannabis leave trimmings, but they ran out about 4-5 months ago lol, anyway, I go through about 20-30 of these "extra extra extra light" cigs a week, which is still alot better than the 160+ a week I was going through before.
But I quit drinking alcohol too, since I stopped, I started performing alot better at my job, everyone respects me now, the managers don't tell me what to do, I tell them what I'm going to do (resonably, of course).I've lost some weight, starting to get back into shape, even though I'd prefer being bigger weight/looks don't bother me like they did when I was young.
I don't smoke joints outside, so that means I still sometimes go days without smoking a joint, and I still don't get any urge whatsoever to smoke cigs.
I don't really care if people look at me for smoking weed and say "ah that's bad" cuz the truth is i've never felt so good, I smoke it after my work it helps me to unwind and relax and helps me to sleep, plus it's great for concentration when I am producing music, I don't hurt anyone, and it definately doesn't make me lazy lol.
Most importantly, I haven't had a smokers cough for about 9 months now, and everytime I am ill, it's not as bad, because I don't have the "smokers symptoms" on top of regular symptoms...
Anyway, good luck people !
