Day 21 = 3 weeks

Well done jess great job 😊😊🎉🎉

Wonderful attitude. You've got this!

Thanks guys I really appreciate the support👍😊

Thank you 😊

I am sick of smoking and sick of the cost. Have tried so many times but continue to go back

Really want to do this

Look I’m sitting at the three week mark still baking my head of coughing up tar flecks and my lungs feel red raw startling to wonder weather it was worth quitting

Can anyone tell me if this is normal I

It's normal

taht's great. How did you achieve it? I want to quit please help me.

I've really missed you guys because I liked your writing and stories so much. Been away mates: open heart surgery: aortic valve replacement, triple bypass and pacemaker. I guess all those accumulated years of smoking paid off in damage to my heart. Congratulations to 21 days. It starts with one day and you've gone 21 and that's a huge milestone.

Way to go!! ^__^ I'm going to start working on it at a slow pace myself and to me it's quite a daunting experience but just gotta keep going!!

2nd day today. Lockdowns are my trigger. Don't smoke most of the week then hammer them on weekends, always with alcohol.

Congratulations 🙏🏼

Hi I'm quite happy for you; well done ✅

I've set today as my *quitdate 🌻

(I've already slipped up & I just know that I can do this) 🦄

Thank you for your time I appreciate your support 🤗

I AM INSPIRED ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Its all up from here.

I am over smoking and looking forward to the other side (smoke free)

Hi all,

Day 2 and feel the need to smoke creeping in. Mouth has a metallic wet feel I always get when I cave and go out and buy a pack of smokes. I'm determined to not give in, but i always start with good intentions and then I fail. I've failed soooo many times so early on. Its crazy, I've got to the point where I don't like the taste of cigarettes but find it incredibly hard to quit. Done some gardening but then wanted a smoke as some kind of reward. The mind is a mean weird thing sometimes

Are you still smoke free

I am trying. At least with every cig I smoke I think wether I can delay it. But I give in feeling there is much time available for my target date.

Day 21 for me how good does it feel xx

I’m on day 1 and i feel good that I decided to quit again. I intend to make this one last. It helps a lot to read all these posts.

Day 28 yabadabadoo

Amazing! I'm on day 12. This time i'm really pushing through it. Looking forward to 21 days! :D

I have gone from a chain smoker to 1 every hr . I am trying as hard as I can to cut down so I can just give up . I am on patches now I am going to get there.

Became a smoker during covid in 2019 and quickly progressed to a packet a day. Some of my friends smoked, most did not. I also retired during that period and with more free time and limited ways to spend it due to covid restrictions, smoking quickly progressed as my vice of slavery. It was never my intention to smoke post covid but my habit had become integral to my daily routines and in any case, I could always stop tomorrow. I tried to discern what it was about smoking that I enjoyed yet despite not being able to put my finger on it, I did not want to give it up and had little motivation to do so. After all, there was always next year to do that and the new medications I was prescribed since I had started smoking (Blood Pressure etc) were relatively cheap. Intervention: Feb 2022 - Heart Attack and Surgery. As hospitals do not allow smoking and I could not get out of a hospital bed for a week, I endured an enforced form of abstinence. Offered patches etc but decided to do it cold turkey as the hospital medications were having a calmative effect. I was surprised as to how minimal my cravings were and I didnt really think about smoking during my hospital admission. That was until the day I was discharged and I had my first strong craving the instant I got into a car to go home (I always 'lit up' as soon as I got into a vehicle) and then when I got home. Over the next few days I resisted the urges to smoke and realised how strong my routines had become associated with smoking. I made significant changes in that area (taking a short walk - breathing exercises - speaking with friends - altering the physical environments of areas in the home where I had previously smoked). Four weeks in, I have a spring in my step, money in my wallet and the urges to smoke are being replaced with stronger thoughts of why an otherwise healthy and sane individual would start or keep smoking in the first place. I have read many stories in this forum about members laping and relapsing, it gives me insight as to how easily it can happen to me. To those that have tried and lapsed, I suggest you do not define yourself by your relapses but rather you decision to pursue a smoke free life regardless of them. Good luck to all.

Hello everyone am new here,so I was going through everyone's post,there are so encouraging though some are really finding it hard to go around the urge of quit smorking but at least I would say what's trying without any difficulties we all face hard time but we need to know why we stoping and the benefits of quitting.i for one am ready to start and face whatever challenge comes my way.and thank you all for all your post of experience couz you never know who's reading and getting inspired by your post and experience,wishing everyone and me luck
