3. Lied To
Claudie Ossard ProductionsYou finally accepted that you may not have felt any significant changes after a few weeks, but its been like three months and you still can't run for the bus. You checked and double-checked several different websites that talked about the benefits of stopping smoking, but to no avail. Your senses of taste and smell have stayed as ineffectual as ever, and you still sound like Christian Bale's Batman after a night out. This is the time to cling onto the idea of your awful black lungs cleaning themselves out. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not happening!
2. The Realisation
FXIt'll happen suddenly and without warning. You won't notice it immediately, but then it'll hit. Somebody walking past you in the street was smoking, and you didnt run after them trying to soak up second-hand smoke. You've stopped thinking about cigarettes every day and you've stopped chewing your pen obsessively. It's actually happened and youve actually done it.
1. FREEDOM
Castle Rock EntertainmentPeople can smoke in front of you and you dont fantasise about throttling them for their cigarette. You can go to the pub AND sit outside without one hand itching to be holding something. When you're waiting for someone you have no urge to kill time by lighting up. You did it, you magical rainbow unicorn of will-power. Well done. Now you just need to deal with your newly acquired sugar addiction
