| ![]() Hello I am on day 5 and not at all affected by withdrawal. I am a little irritated in general but its manageable and I am coping well. However I am noticing weight gain as a consquence of quitting. I plan to start running again and shed it all within 3-4 weeks. I must say I feel happy. However I am very cautious because nicotine has trapped me before much further in my quit. |

| ![]() Seven and Half years since i quit and yesterday got this sudden urge to light up while having a cuppa on our office terrace cafeteria. It was a pleasant evening with a nice view of the city. Better sense prevailed within a few seconds but was shocked that the urge was there even after seven and half years!! |

From giving-up-failures, I have regular heard that they made it for six months, or two years. These seem to be among the danger points. How is thing so powerful it can lurk in our bodies or our minds for so long? I have no idea ![]() | |

| ![]() I am typing this about 5 mins post my return from a sutta break at work. I am a little out of breath, sweaty and generally feeling uncomfortable beacuse of the darned heat in Delhi. But before I type any further, a confession. I actively avoided looking at this thread. It probably was the "ghost of past failure" that made me stay away, but I cannot say for sure. Anyhow, so here I am, at my workstation, drenched in sweat, feeling quite unhappy. And I ask myself, "you probably will drag yourself through mud and muck to smoke, won't you? When it comes to smoking, you are like the US postal service - come hail come storm ... or something like that, aren't you? That is quite miserable, isn't it?" Simple answer - Yes. Simple decision - Today was the last day I smoked. I am quitting. Wish me luck gents. Hoping for similar support and intervention (if necessary) I received the last time around from all you fine souls on this thread. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Question. How long before the lung gets back its capacity? The process may be long. If i heavy smoker has quit and it is about three months, how much tar would be removed from lungs? Is there something that i can do to remove tar faster? |

Infractions: 0/1 (4) | ![]() The lungs' regenerative capacity is fantastic. Some cardios tell me that it will take around 6 months to a year to recover competely. During this time it is advised to exercise in parks and open spaces to be able to get fresh air in. Take the stairs instead of the lift and so on. Already, in these last 7 weeks I can feel the difference. |
