Now that I have made it to day 5 since I stopped smoking I am quite happy. I believe I have gotten over the first initial few days which can be the hardest. So for me this is a good thing.
I find myself breathing better and no coughing as much. Some of my friends have told me who have stopped smoking that when they get to the three week mark they find themselves coughing more and sorry for the squeamish but you end up hacking up so much black junk. It is hard to imagine why was continuing smoking while thinking abou the black junk in my lungs. So needless to say I have been not necessarily been looking forward to this part. Although it will start to feel much better whenever I start to have clear lungs again. Breathing fully through those bronchial tubes.
Another point of interest I must mention at this juncture. When I had stopped smoking one of my many times before (although this shall be the very last) I had found during my time smoing my knees had started to ache. Now when I say ache they were very sore and would feel very weak. I would have to climb a few steps or step over a large space. This seemed to inflame my knees and they would ache. It is really hard to describe that ache although if you are reading this and it registers to you what I am saying. So I only remember this now as I have stopped. The last time that I was off as I was earlier I found that my knees stopped hurting. Not immediately but over a short amount of time I felt gradual improvement. Now this alone should have been inspiration for me but again it wasnt. I started smoking again and my knees gradually began to hurt again.
That all being said I look forward to them beginning to get better again. Now if you had known this before this should be inspire you to stop smoking now.
