I quitted smoking, day 7

I didn't drink as I had to much to do and had to drive a car later in the night too. That went well then. Tonight I am also driving so I won't be drinking and less tease to smoke. I think I might get over smoking while drinking as time passes by. Since I don't have a physical addiction to it, it ain't that bad to resist it while drinking. Of course I am going to miss that small and fast "high" when you smoke your first cigarette when you drink alcohol. After all it ain't that much of a "high" and it won't enchance drinking at all after that first smoke.

Mucus still coming and but not so much as in the begining. I am not irretable at all. I have noticed that now that my sense of smell is getting better I can smell my wifes smoking about hour later. Even if she has brushed her teeth. I don't remember that I had this good sense of smell earlier in my life at all. Has my sense of smell getting better due aging?

I quitted smoking, day 6

Friday. If I should drink do I fall for smoking, again? I guess safe bet would be not drink, but after all I am not in the mood of drinking, now that I feel more energetic when I haven't been smoking.

I should have measured my blood pressure before I quitted smoking so I could have a reference point how much smoking affected my blood pressure. Well for now it's a bit too late as it take few days to see affects. And before you start saying that your blood pressure will drop around 15-60 minutes after last smoke, while it is true, it's still elevated compared to not smoking at all. 

So benefits so far:

  • sense of smell and taste is better
  • better periferic blood flow
  • no stuffed nose, better breathing
  • blood pressure has dropped
  • sleep quality is better and feel more energetic in the morning
  • more money to spend on my car
And all this in less than week after I quitted smoking.  Let's see what this evening has stored for me...
