Hi there, I've quit today too. It's been tough but have got through the first day. I've saved the quitline number into to my phone just in case I need some extra help as well. One thing I've found is the the trusty old chupa chup is great for the hand to mouth motion. Best of luck with it all!

Yay twinsies lol. Yes I've heard of chuppa chup for hand to mouth going to look at the packet tomorrow and make sure they are gluten free (just found out I'm celiac through blood test). I too have quit line in phone and called today. They are amazing and wonderfully knowledgeable

Haha we'll beat this as a team. 😃 I just googled the chuppa chup question, they are gluten free except cola flavour. I don't trust everything google says though.. but by the sound's you may be in luck. I have tried the nicorette inhalers, that Storm mentioned, they do work.. but the burny feeling isn't so great. Now that I've saved $11 from yesterday I'm off to buy a big bucket of chuppa chups and some chewing gum! Stay strong peeps we've got this.

Yes I'm about to buy them myself. I was on the website for chupa chups and yes only cola is gluten others are may contain. I am one of the few who take that risk as its usually there as a 'cover their but' lol

True that lol, ok, so I bought 1 pack of redskins, 2 packs of chewy, and 3 packs of chupa chups lol.. all that was still way more cheaper than a pack of ciggies. I even bought some sumo salad for the first time ever..I feel like a new person already!

Lol I got 2 pack of chewy and 35 pack of allens lollipops as they worked out cheaper than 8 chupa chups lol. I admit I'm feeling better so far can breath easier. Didn't know I was struggling lol

Hi Shell support buddies sounds good, nearly through day 5 I have been tempted a couple of times today but holding strong

Hope your day is going well

I generally check in to this page at least once a day normally at night keep your post going I think it will be good to hear about someone else's experiences

I was eyeing those Allens lollipops off for about 5 minutes, I think I might go that way next to mix it up a bit, plus it is way better value. Also every 8 pack had cola in it which wouldn't be to good for your celiac's. I'm glad you're feeling better and breathing easier.

Hi, I'm on a couple of times a day, if I see a notification in my inbox lol.

Yes I didn't see the point in buying something when I will be throwing half out the idea is to save me money not continue to waste it lol.

Good on you for staying strong you are an inspiration do the cravings reduce? (Day 2 for me)

Day 3.. the cravings were bad last night when my footy team lost their first game of the season.. but I stayed strong. It's good to identify those triggers even if they are unavoidable.. hopefully my team won't lose to many though. This is true, we'll be saving stacks of money.. and be healthier for it!. You get notifications? I have this website bookmarked on google on my phone.. is there an app for it.. I've searched everywhere for one. I'm on android btw! And to Storm, wow you're doing well day 6 for you today. Stay strong you two.. we will beat this. Easy peasy.

Today is hard TBH I'm on my 4th lollipop lol. I'm not sure how I get an email it just says 02forMe has made a comment on your story. Here is the comment. Click here to go to website lol

Day 6 cravings still strong keeping busy is great but the minute I stop I think cigarette chewing a lot of gum use nicorette helpers maybe twice a day when it gets really bad but still holding strong good luck to us all

I relented had 4 puffs of a smoke and feel like throwing up!

I'll have to check my emails! Lol. Sorry I haven't been on lately, I've been flat out, which has kind of helped me. Oh dear 4 puffs! It's not all that bad really..and the fact that you felt ill afterwards could prevent you from going there again. I have had some fairly strong cravings, especially when I hop in my car (as I used to light up at the start of every trip) that's when my lollypop comes out! My next door neighbor must of had a cigarette right next to my bedroom window the other night.. the smell was so strong, and it brought back memories.. I ended up falling asleep thankfully. One of my friends came back from Bali the other day and had cigarettes as a gift for me..lol I graciously declined.. and felt stronger for it. Best of luck guys.. and stay strong. And have a very lovely easter.

I don't get emails for some reason 😢

Yesterday was hard drove my uncle from one place to another just after he finished a smoke. Dropped him home and for 20 minutes I was counting down the moments to home and have a lolly (forgot to put some in my car) raced in the house "LOLLY POP!" mum had tears down her cheeks saying it was hilarious lol

Yeah my neighbour has been smoking all day its all I can breath in I can smell it been on the lollies, baking the mosy disgusting scones on the planet or reading... anything really

ShellMor I am so glad i cam back here and then seen this message have been looking for new posts from you. I was starting to think you have given up.

Keep posting new stories so we can all share the journey

Keep up the good work

Tiger's lost again.. and I've had a few drinks too. This is really tough.. but into the double figures now.. there's no going back!

I'm day 2 without patches I still get the cravings but not as many if I don't use the patch so I habe half a pack (14 days I think) of 16mg that I don't need 😂 didn't think it was meant to work this way.

Think no chocolate over the Easter holiday bugged me more than no ciggies to be honest. I'd kill for some chocolate and dairy free/gluten free chocolate is waaay to expensive (says the person who spends 27.50 every 3 days for a pack of smokes lmao).

Don't drink too much you can't be hung over tomorrow lol 😜

You poor thing, not being able to eat chocolate at Easter time, that would be tough!.. well at least you'll save more money not forking out on patches anymore. Today I was chatting to people whilst they were smoking with no cravings.. Yay!

Haha cheeky! No I only had 3 drinks I think, so I was fine this morning! Keep up the good work!

Everyone has gone quiet! Lol almost 20 days. I hope you two are still going strong too.👍👍

Hi sorry been trying to look for work and now have tonsillitis fun time... wow 20 days? Thats amazing

That's all good hun, I hope you find work soon, it's tough out there. I'm studying atm, but would love a part time job just for the extra cash. Yeah it sure is amazing up to 27 day's now.. and I even got plastered last weekend and still managed not to have any.. it was very hard though, but glad I didn't give in.

I hope your tonsillitis gets better too btw. Nothing worse than a sore throat. Lot's of hot lemon and honey drinks should help 😉🍋🍯

Hi I'm better now but hit the hardest hurdle yet... my uncle passed away quickly this afternoon and I really want a smoke. Any ideas on what to do?

I'm very sorry to hear that your uncle has passed, but be strong, smoking a cigarette won't help. We've come to far to go back to what we once were. My only suggestion would be to find something to take your mind off things. Some sort of hobby, craft, just to keep your mind occupied. Chin up, I'm sure your uncle is in a better place looking over you and cheering you on.

Thank you for the kind words. Today is easier we have heaps to do which is keeping me occupied. Keeping busy is the key

Anytime hun👍keeping busy certainly is the key. Stay strong.

Getting close to the 100 days.. yay! 92 days atm.
