One year !

Thanks again to you all for the support. Smoking is not a part of my life anymore and even stopping smoking is mostly gone if that makes sense.

It is doable, especially with such an awesome community. Stay strong !

Edit : My first reddit gold ! Thank you very much.

Congratulations!!! How do you feel physically and mentally compared to when you were a smoker? I'm really interested and fascinated by the changes that await me (I'm on 1 week). Knowing what a difference it will make and how my body/life will change is really helpful in pushing me forward!

Thanks ! My physical condition improved a lot over a year. I started exercising the same day i quit so it's hard to isolate the effect of not smoking. I almost puked after half a mile the first time I ran, i now run 10km without trouble (and I'm not trying hard, i just do it to stay in shape) I wake up earlier, with more energy. Mentally, I've had a rough year so a lot of time I've thought "Ok, at least you've done that for yourself and it's a pretty big success in the long run". It's a great feeling. I'm much more positive about things. But again it might be the effect of not smoking or of, you know, life.

Congratz on one week ! You have done the worst part. You'll encounter many situations that will trigger the thought of a cigarette. I still do from time to time. That's normal and almost a good thing, each time you are killing the habit a little more.
