Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group
The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine." Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual. If you are trying to kick the habit, this community is dedicated to giving smokers the...
90 days!!! I can't tell you how excited I am and how amazing it feels to know that I haven't had a cigarette in 90 DAYS!!!! I never thought in a million years that I would be able to quit. Excuse after excuse and I just didn't care. (Not to mention every one of my friends smoke). Now, I am able to breathe better, think clearly, and ultimately feel better about myself and my health.
I was at my friend's apartment the other day, and he and his cousin chain smoke so I am constantly around the second hand smoke. Is it crazy that it actually affects me now? I cough when they are around and my throat always feels raw. I try to stay by a window or they do but it still bugs me. Sometimes I feel like they think I am being overdramatic especially when they make comments like "Oh, you use to love this remember? What happened?"
Either way IDC! It was my choice to quit and it was the BEST decision of my life. =)
I hope everyone is having a great day!!!!

being around someone who smokes bothers me too so you are not alone there..i quit over 7 months ago, my hubby still smoked up until a month ago he decided he wanted wat i had, clearer lungs, sweet smelling body and clothes, and of course, all that money i had saved up in my little "used to smoke" jar...what you've done is truely AMAZING please please REWARD yourself ok you deserve it
Good Job!!!! Good Job!!!! Good Job!!!!
You're doing great! It is hard to be around smokers once we quit! I can't even stand the smell of smoking at all anymore myself!
I think its hard for folks still smoking to relate to being smoke free.
Get yourself a reward, you've earned one!
Blessings,
