Share with You some of My Feelings After Quitting Smoking for 5 Months

I have probably been smoking for a long time, and I am very addicted to cigarettes. I smoke two packs a day for a long time.

When I first started smoking, it was because I was curious. I continued to be curious for a few years, and then I became addicted.

At that time, half a pack of cigarettes a day was enough, and the harm of tobacco was completely invisible to the body.

As the smoking time prolongs, the addiction gradually increases, from half a pack of cigarettes per day to one pack of cigarettes... to two packs of cigarettes per day...

Then the body gradually developed some problems caused by smoking.

——My mouth is full of smoke and I have completely lost my sense of taste.

Smoking at this time is painful, your mouth is numb, your throat is uncomfortable, and you feel like your lips are protesting from your lungs.

——Cough, chest tightness, asthma, feeling tired after running a few steps, family members are allergic to the smell of cigarette smoke...

The disadvantages of my body were clearly revealed, but I still couldn't resist the temptation of smoking, until one day I felt that I would be doomed if I didn't quit smoking...

…

Quitting smoking is all about intention!

Why should I quit smoking?

There must be an urgent reason so that you can persevere in the subsequent addiction process. This is the most important thing.

——I do it for my family, my mother will cough when she smells cigarette smoke!

This is the biggest driving force.

Secondly, there was a series of reactions in my body that made me feel that I had to quit smoking.

One is the feelings of my loved ones, and the other is the urgent needs of my body, so I want to quit smoking.

After finishing my decision, I threw away most of the remaining cartons of cigarettes (a regular smoker always buys a carton of cigarettes to take home). And I threw it away after dinner so I wouldn't have an excuse to buy cigarettes.

The first night was a bit of an ordeal. I gave up all alternatives. At the height of my attack, I even lit a piece of paper and inhaled the smoke.

The next day during the day, I felt itchy all over. No, it's because my heart is itching unbearably, and my throat is calling out for the influence of cigarettes.

I held back.

I felt better on the third day, but still suffering.

The fourth day...

When the fourth day passed, the craving for cigarettes was almost gone, and the only thing left was the craving for cigarettes.

After three days, I felt a little weird.

I don’t want to smoke anymore?

Yes, it’s the first three days. After you hold on, the mental addiction and the physical addiction to smoking are almost gone.

…

——To quit smoking, of course you must first look at your own body and consult a professional doctor if necessary. Because your body will have some reactions after quitting smoking, you need to consult a professional doctor at this time.

My process of quitting smoking is roughly like this: make up my mind; throw away the cigarettes and start quitting smoking; after three days, I will complete the physiological craving for cigarettes...

Then there is the five-month process of quitting addiction: I still want to smoke, and sometimes I smoke even in my dreams.

So quitting smoking is not complicated, but you need to stay vigilant in the future.

On this trip to Jiangsu, some of my book friends smoked, and I felt tempted when I smelled them, but even if I was tipsy, I could still hold back.

——This is the initial success of quitting smoking.

…

After successfully quitting smoking, the first thing I felt was my breathing became smoother. I used to be out of breath after running for a short period of time, but now I can run for a long time and very far and still feel energetic.

Physical fitness has skyrocketed!

This is the number one benefit of quitting smoking.

The second benefit: Smoking is now banned in many places, such as high-speed trains.

When I went to a party in Beijing in March, I took out my cigarette lighter as I was about to arrive at the station. As soon as the train door opened, I ran out and lit up my cigarette impatiently. Then I had to keep an eye on the train for fear that the train would suddenly close and leave me at the station. .

After getting into the car with the smell of cigarette smoke all over my body, my throat and mouth felt uncomfortable, and I coughed and retched several times.

But not long after I sat down, when I heard that I was going to the next stop, I would still stand behind the door, waiting for the next time... From home to Beijing, I rushed to the platform to smoke at almost every stop.

Once you are in a place where smoking is not allowed, the smell is so unpleasant that it makes people feel itchy all over.

When I go to places where smoking is prohibited and see people eager to smoke, I know that there are many benefits to quitting smoking.

The most important thing is that quitting smoking is not as difficult as you think! 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading academy
