I hit a personal milestone today. I've now been 100-days without smoking. This is the longest I've gone as an adult without smoking, vaping, or using some form of tobacco.
I believe I've kicked the habit for good, but I'll feel even better when I've got more miles in the rearview mirror between me and the last cigarette.
Healthwise I don't have any cough of any congestion, I've picked up my physical activity some, as the weather has warmed up a bit and I'm getting the garden ready, for when I can plant.
This week in fact, I've got to get a space ready for Hives, bee hives that is. We are going to host some bees and if it works well we may take up beekeeping next year. I will probably seed more clover for the bees, it would be amazing to have our own honey.
Along with my lungs clearing up I've been getting in some longer hikes and walks. I don't think I'll take running back up at 52, but it has been good to build the wind back up. My energy is definitely higher, and my sustained focus is somewhat improved.
I have noticed in the absence of smoking, my palette has changed slightly spicy foods are a bit spicier. I'm sure I'll pick up other changes over the next year or so.
This post is probably a bit of self-congratulatory back pat, but I feel proud of myself making it to the 100-day mark!
Ok, but how do you drink coffee then?! Jk, gzz, sir!
After 10 years of 3-5 packs / weekly I was able to stop for 3 years, but not cannabis actually.
In my case what helped was meditation to fix ADHD and anxiety instead of smokes...
Went back 5 months ago lol, for the past 2 weeks I smoke 2 cigarettes/day at most or none. A not recommended habit for sure.
It would be a mess to get heavily into it again until feeling the urge to break it.
But yah know, wp, do your best!! Cheers
That's amazing to quit a three pack a day habit. Congratulations for that. In that context the cannabis doesn't seem like a significant risk factor.
I probably drink way too much coffee and should wind that down also, but perhaps in due time ;)
Dang, I wrote that amount weekly lol, I'd have already been hijacked by some CO² capture device at this point...
Got it! I was amazed at that the stamina required to smoke that many cigarettes in one day :) Per week makes more sense!
Well done! Keep it up! I was lucky to never pick up that habit, nicotine is one of the toughest addictions to beat!

It took me a year of daily struggle to finally have some relief in the urge to smoke after eating, by the third year you couldn't pay me to smoke another.
It's worth the effort, imo.
That has been a big change for me too. I've only felt a few moments where I felt a strong urge to smoke, and it was all after going to eat at a restaurant.
Congrats on 100 days, that's a big accomplishment. Here's to 100 more days! !BBH
Most definitely. I will feel more confident that I'm not going to be a smoker with another 100 days in.
This is a huge milestone man. Congratulations
Thank you, and thank you for reading.
Congratulations!
These kind of posts are important. Be proud of your achievement and tell it to the world. Very important for the process. And inspirational to others. That's why AA has X-Days chips! This posting is kind of your 100 day chip!

That was partially my thought too, that I would feel embarrassed if I gave into the impulse. The post is sort of an accountability mechanism.
Thank you for your witness vote!

Thank you Melinda, thank you for all your help with the interview of Good Karma, that was a lot of fun, and it definitely expanded my knowledge of Ecency.
I learn more each time I hear him do an interview! Thanks for the enthusiastic shout out at the end of the show. I must admit that you made me blush.
Fabulous milestone, well-done 😍
Great that you are noticing other benefits, too.
One of the benefits is I take the money I was spending on cigarettes and make extra Hive purchases. So there is a direct financial benefit by saving money on the purchase, and hopefully letting that grow in some interest bearing or dividend yielding instrument on Hive.
I have to my #saturdaysavers update but I went ahead, and purchased more EDSI so that I could cross the 200 token threshold.
🚀
Fabulous!
congrats well done! Keep on going!
