May has been a crazy month for me. I quit smoking, started a diet and have lost about 21 lbs, I quit my zyprexa, and paxil to go on natural remedies.

We got a new dog and I’ve harvested 3 or 4 zucchini from my garden plots. I’ve enrolled in an online course, that I think I’m going to postpone for fall so I can expand my garden. All this while going to bed on average about 2 in the morning

One month isn't enough time to consider that you "quit" smoking but rest of it is cool

@midnightsun i was only smoking for about 8 months. I have no cravings to smoke other than vague desire now and then out of habit, not craving. I am being smart in quitting now than continuing for the next 2 years or so and then trying to quit.

Acquit doesn’t take long. I think it’s just a few days. @midnightsun

@Spoiledbrat I read that the withdrawals from tobacco last 4 days, however the habit remains and that’s the greatest risk to stop smoking. Also endorphin levels drop for 30 days because the tobacco in long term smokers replaces the bodies need to produce it, so a smoker might be more inclined to smoke again because they think smoking will bring back a buzz only to find out it doesn’t feel like anything is happening.

Well good job so far. Hang in there. @MrAboo
