Today is Day 5 in a smoke-free world for me! I don't know if that last sentence really deserves an exclamation point or not, but faked enthusiasm has gotta count for something. I have made it about 4 and 1/2 days longer than I expected to and it does seem to be getting a slight bit easier....emphasis on the slight.
The craziest thing happened though...I started to get small cuts in my mouth since quitting. Apparently, the cigarette smoke acts as a pesticide in your mouth and kills off bacteria and thickens the skin in your mouth. How absolutely disgusting is that?! I just wanted to share that little tidbit. It was enough to strengthen my resolve (at least for a while).
I can't wait to not be tempted by those little beasts. That'll be the first HUGE step in finally addressing the PCOS. Hope everyone out there has an amazing day!
So I've tried posting a couple times now and I think it just hated on me...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, hopefully this one goes through!!
It's been a week and no smokey treats! So far so good and I haven't even killed anyone yet! (yes, it's a miracle)
I wanted to say thank you, for the boost to actually help me do something I have been thinking about for a while and for the inspiration to actually do it!
Also: That's really gross and I did not know that!! Ew!
Hope things are going well with you!!

That is SO great that you are smoke-free too! I am hanging in there on Day 10. Maybe we can swap tips sometime? Keep up the good work!
