I marked a year and a half quit cold turkey a couple days ago. I found out from recent medical tests that it was time to quit when I did. I have some physical things going on that finding out were a wake up call. I have always believed strongly that everything happens for a reason and I believe I quit smoking a year and a half ago for a reason. Not only did quitting smoking have a positive effect...

Hello. Today is 9 months without a cigarette or alcohol . I have been a life long smoker since 14 years old. I em now 44. I also loved drinking beer. Nothing was better than a 12 pack of Budweiser and a few packs of Marlboro lights hanging out with classic rock on the radio. That changed when I got tired of not being able to walk up one flight of stairs with out being short of breath, and most im...

450 days since the last puff. The upside of smoking was negligible and downside was getting steep. About 4 weeks of physical and mental suffering and after that it got a lot easier. No morning cough, no stink and no dependency anymore. Freedom. Good luck to everyone and stay strong

231 days today & I still get that horrible urge to light up. Not all the time but maybe once every couple of weeks I feel like this. Sometimes that feeling will only last a few moments but then other times (like now) it can last for hours, even to the point where I can smell it. Does this feeling ever subside? I know I will NEVER give in to temptation but I thought surely by now these impulse...

Okay, I quit cold turkey exactly 80 days ago after smoking for 55 years. I had just retired and realized that there was no way that I could afford my 3 pack a day habit living on my retirement income. Doing good except for this cough I developed the day I quit smoking. I never coughed the whole 55 years I smoked but now I cough up this grey mucus several times every day. Is this normal? Is t...

Day 4 quitting cold turkey. This has been the hardest day because I have been feeling really down in the dumps today, I think its just withdrawals so I decided to go to Maccas it did actually help stop the cravings having junk food instead! Smoked 20 a day for 11 years a lot of my smoking was chain smoking in the night time.

Day 20 and still smoke free. If someone would have told me what my body would go through after quitting smoking I would not have believed them. The first week was not to bad , the 9 and 10 days were bad, as far as craving. I have smoked for 33 years, however I am on day 20 smoke free. The individual stories I read help me get through some days. Thank you everyone for sharing.

Finally! Yes, I know I have quit before but this time has a foreverness about it even though I am only on day 4 of alcohol and smoke free. Thanks to those who have commented on my previous attempts and encouraged me. I feel so much better free of both habits but am relying on the occasional Nicorette chewing gum and a vaporiser but that is so much better than 40 cigarettes and up to two bottles o...
