Quitting smoking flat out sucks, there’s just no way to butter it up.
One minute you feel perfectly fine, the next- you’re ready to punch a hole in the wall.
But, thanks to the patch and a very supportive husband (who has also quit too), It’s manageable. It’s only been one week and I already feel a change.
1) I am now able to go up a flight of stairs without my sails running out of wind.
2) Things taste better, more flavorful.
3) Money in the bank ya’ll.
It’s crazy to think about the $ I’m saving just by ditching this stinky ( No, I take that back- it’s a beautiful thing when I pass a smoker and take in the tainted breeze). Unhealthy?
Yeah, just bad and nasty habit.
A pack a day at about $6.50 x 2 (husband also) = $13.00
x 30 (avg. month)= $390.00/ month.
That’s more than half of my rent! Crazy.
So, needless to say I’m feeling healthier and better about myself, my life-span, and the extra money pocketed.
Hurray for you!
Kendall, how has it been since you wrote this. Have you quit for good. I am so happy that you made it a week, and REALLY hope you and your husband have been able to make the healthy switch for good. Wish you all the best, it is so worth it, and holy cow, never realized how costly of a habit it is, shoot, that should be incentive enough, for real, but your health is the most important, and your body, will thank you. COngrats, so far, and really hope you have both kept with it. My brother has actually used the electronic cigs, with MUCH success, totally an option worth looking into in case you guys have started again, ( REALLY HOPE NOT), lol. Good luck, and let me know how you have been doing!!! Bella 🙂
