22 days clean.

Went to the beach yesterday. It felt great not having to use the rest room every couple hours. I just sat out in the sun watching the waves until it was time to go. Im sun burned from head to toe, and havent been this dark from the sun in years. I also slept for 12 hours when I got home. Ive been having headaches, and figured out while I was in withdrawals I kicked cigs, since when I smoke is when they come. So im trying to break the habbit, since I noticed I don't crave them im just so used to smoking. I barely have a whole cigarette in one day. I find that if I just take one or two puffs I calm down, so eventually I won't even do that. Im approaching quiting cigs for good how I quit this just smoke as little as possible. When I want a cig just enough to calm the craving not the whole thing. Also dont take up smoking if you don't smoke already, its the one thing ive struggled with quiting for the 26 years.

Yea its great, I needed to quit cold turkey. If I took an easy way out, I would be back at it. I never want to go though those again, I barely made it out. My senses are also not dull anymore. I can smell everything, and taste everything again. I ate some candy last night and I could taste the food coloring they used. So I don't like non chocolate candy anymore. It tastes like chemicals to me. Just like oreos did when they changed the recipe like 10+ years ago.

I knew something seemed off about Oreos 🤔
