This is a quick and slightly silly diary for the purposes of getting a thread up for you all. So, I am currently trying to whiten my teeth after 17 years of smoking. This is one of the many things that one gets to do after laying their habits to rest. For me, washing all of my clothes was one of the most gratifying, post-quit chores. I still hate the smell of stale smoke in fabric and getting rid of that smell felt like a milestone to me. Getting the smell out of the car is a different story, if anyone has any good solutions to that, I would appreciate the tips.
So I am on day 4 of 7 of teeth whitening regiment, and I am using trays that you stick on your teeth and keep it there for like 45 minutes. It is a very goopy product and holding it in my mouth is not pleasant. But, my teeth already are a shade up from where I started. As an added bonus, I just finished two years of Invisaline (TM) to straiten my teeth so for the first time ever, I will have strait, white teeth!
Consider this an open thread, and if you want, please share the things you got to do after you quit that felt like a milestone to you!
