1 week no cigarette

[u/luciddreamerrrrrr]

19 year old male here.

today is the day im cigarette free for exactly 1 week and i couldn't be happier, i know its not much but i believe this is just a small jog within a huge marathon, ive been smoking for 3 years every single a day, about 10 to 30 cigs depending on financial situations (or if i could take some from family members or not)

you'd probably think a week is too little to already be feeling benefits, but that is not the case, i'll now name what i have experienced so far

• better bloodflow
• hair seems to feel and look better already (which i didnt expect to happen so soon)
• breathing feels a whole lot better, but i believe it still has improving to do
• my smell and taste have improved massively

and now for my favourite benefit....

freedom.

i dont feel like a slave to these chemical sticks no more, my whole mood/day used to depend on a cig, couldn't walk to the shop without one, couldn't listen to music without one, couldn't even shower before i had one, you start to realize that a cigarette isn't a necessity, it is nothing more than just a ritual we made for ourselves because we dont feel like encountering our emotions head on, deal with your emotions yourself brothers and sisters, i believe in you all.

i'll keep you updated.

(also apologies if i made spelling mistakes, my english isn't perfect)

Way to go! I also startes feeling the benefits super quickly, my skin within one week was noticeably better, everything was really and just keep getting better.
