The idea of smoking even half scares me/ I am so terrified that I would go back to my full smoking amount. I don't understand. This week has been the most severe I am in my own third week smoke cigars free and the first two weeks were really easy. Now, it feels like I just started trying to give up. I also smoked almost 40 years. I am 52 and I speculate at times if I am doing myself worthwhile to own waited this long to give up.

So one month exactly now, and my palpitations calmed down a great deal at the three week stage. I guess I might be one of the lucky ones, as I have had no desires, which astounds me after more than 40yrs. The thing now is the back of my calves that feels alternatively like I functioned them out, but nothing major. The real test though, was all weekend when the tiny guy in my own pic here possessed 24hrs of seizures, which completely pressured me away and retained me up forever. I went wintry turkey but do chew some gum to complete that, and my center did race the whole day. But back to normal now it might sound unusual, but my mental state feels I never did smoke An excellent kind of denial? So, merely to put it out there as a confident among the many negatives, I look fresher, no day cough, and my pearly whites are getting whiter. There exists hope. Don't surrender.
