This is by far the most Difficult thing I have ever done in my life. Now I must start a plan to loose weight. I've gained about 10 pounds since my quit and I now have hbp. It is amazing, when I was smoking I didn't have any of the issues or problems I now have. Anyway, I know in the long run my quit makes for a healthier me. Patcher |
Congrats Patcher!!
I don't know if the thinking about smoking ever goes away completely.....over a year and I still think about it but only think!!
The weight sometimes comes from substituting food for smoking and that can be managed. About the hbp....mine came down big time after I quit!!
Good luck to you and keep up the good work.

Re: 8 Months 
I quit 9 months ago and I still miss it, not like at the beginning though. I just have split second cravings and they pass quickly. I've heard of people quitting 20 years ago that still think of cigarettes.
