Don't be a slave to the ciggie

I have now been smoke free for 3 weeks today with the help of lozanges. I do have the odd craving now and then so I keep myself busy and have a lozange. I feel healthier and have saved nearly 500$ so far! I have been having so many dreams that I am trying to light a smoke but the lighter won't work! goes to show how much of an influence 24 years of smoking has had on me! Good luck everyone - we can do it

Well done Bernie. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow using patches. Week 3 was my hardest week, I think because I had the flu and just wanted my crutch. So glad I didn't give in and now feel great to have made it to 4 weeks. Looking forward to the 6 month mark. That will be a huge achievement.

Hi Ally! good luck to you too and well done for kicking the habit! I can't wait to hit the 6 month mark too and hope to influence my family members who smoke to quit too

Thank you both for your post very inspiring. I quit smoking 7 weeks ago coldturkey after 2,0 yrs of smoking. I feel great and healthier. I will stay smoke free for the rest of my life :)
