QSN Program
Been on the Quit Stop Now program for 23 days and been smoke free for 18 days. I have been a smoker for 36 years and most of those years been smoking at least 25 a day, was so heavily addicted that I would get up during the night for 4 or 5 smokes.
I am really happy to share my experience of QSN tablets as a positive and great way to give up. The tablets don't taste that great but I had no side affects like I did with zyaban or champix which didn't work for me at all. Neither did patches, inhalers, hypnotism and chewing gum.
My 18 days have had its ups and downs, a few heavy cravings in the first 7 days and still the occasional one or two now but I've been so surprised how well I've done and my sleeping has improved. Of course I've also changed some of my habits which required id light up but I'm really pleased with my progress. Of course quitting is a marathon not a sprint so I'm taking it one day at a time but so far so good. If you have tried everything else like I have and are desperate to give up (this being the main trigger for me) then i would give the QSN tablet program a go, its not cheap at $300 delivered but hey its worth a try. Best of luck to all with whatever way you go to try to give up this horrible and addictive drug. Regards
yes you are right its a marathon run one day at time :) like a sprint marathon LOL.
well done on the days up and you sound like you have plenty more smoke free days ahead of you so well done again.

Well done Mario!
I reached 120 days today. I'm an addict and need to be reminded, even if things seem better. The desire to smoke at the moment is fleeting but I know that I must tell myself I am only one cigarette away from being without willpower. I'm waiting for improvements in the next few months. I've read that it takes about 9 months for the lungs to properly recover. Like you, I've smoked over 30 years and was almost 2 packs before I quit.
Thanks manchild, I haven't used that term "addict" yet on my quit journey but that's exactly what I am, I have had my struggles with the quit process as smoking was all consuming and I planned my day unconsciously around smoking. Im glad I have found this forum and other info sites which have helped tremendously even if just to hear of others experiencing the quit process. Im determined this time to give it a real go, not just pretending to quit as I have in the past, yes im an addict but I can see light at the end of the tunnel this time, Just got to remember not one ciggy, not one puff ever ever again, best wishes to you and all on this difficult journey
