I'm making a second attempt to quit smoking. I smoked for 3 years and got up to 10-12 a day. I tried to quit in january and lasted for about a month. I'm ready to try again because I'm tired of feeling sick and congested all the time and I want to start exercising again (smoking makes this difficult).
I was wondering if there were any methods of cleansing/detox that were most helpful. I haven't had a cig in 3 days and the last 2 day nights and mornings were awful. I couldn't breath, I was coughing up disgusting mucus all night and my sinuses are completely out of whack.I know this is my body detoxifying itsel,f but is there anything I can do to make this process more bearable? I also feel extremely bloated! I was wondering if this could be related to quitting? Also, would cutting out milk and other diary products help with the mucus and bloating?
Also for those that took up working out after quitting smoking how difficult was it? My lungs feel completely tarnished and I'm terrified to start working out again, but at the same time my body craves it. I'm worried that my body won't be able to handle it and I'll get discouraged and start smoking again. Any ideas on how to get back into a work out routine after quitting smoking?
Thanks!
