Dave;
I am feeling great. I have no 'craving' for a smoke, but I sure could enjoy one ha ha. I dont believe the desire ever goes away. I can never never give in to 'just one'.
I was never winded even when climbing the High Peaks. In all honesty, I dont feel much different than I did when smoking almost 2 paks a day. The huge difference is in Taste and Smell. Since I smoked since I was 16, I really dont have a benchmark on food taste for a smokeless person. Food tastes really great, I use much less spices and red pepper sauce. Sharp cheese really is sharp. The easiest way to explain, food tastes drastically different, but its a good taste. I was hooked on Diet Pepsie for years. Now, diet Pepsie tastes really bad, likes its weak.
I switched to regular High Octane Pepsie LOL. My sense of smell is greatly enhanced. I can smell the Chipmunks when they take a dump up in the woods.
One day at a time. Next Post Aug 17 which will be 62 days smoke free.
Paul
