Only 2 Days Quit But Already See How Great This Is Going To Be.

*I originally posted this in the wrong forum. Now I see it belongs here.
 
I stopped smoking the day before my 50th birthday, 2 Days ago, 12-9-18. And already food tastes
better & my fingers didnt go numb while outside in the 20 degree cold and my healthy fingernail color has come back.
I am looking forward to everyday as a non-smoker and the wonderful aspects of not being a drug addict anymore. 
 
I had my 1st beer last night as a non-smoker and I must say it was a little strange not having something
burning between my fingers. I kept reaching for things that werent there. Lol. So i grabbed a straw to keep
my hands & mouth busy. What I must tell you though is how damn good that beer was. In only 2 days my
taste is coming back and carbonated beverages dont sting my tongue. I was so fascinated about how good the
taste was it distracted me from not thinking about smoking. But when I did think about smoking, while still enjoying my 
beer, I just read a chapter in my help book and then was off to bed.
 
I use to smoke 50 cigs a day. That was only a few days ago. Feels like months.
I got this. And so do you.
I am never going to smoke again.
I am a non-smoker.
Isn't it Wonderful!!!!

And I failed to mention earlier that I used the Allen Carr method.
The book is never more than an arm length away. It really is magical.
