It has been a while since I last post here. I am happy to say I am still smoke free. However, since yesterday I am having these junky thoughts again - definitely linked to the Christmas holidays.....We are going camping. My sister smokes (they are joining us) and so does my hubby. It is not really the thought of them smoking as much as the thought of having to relax around the campfire and no...

Hi, I'm one month smoke free today and am heaps pleased with myself. This has been part of a transformation of myself that I've been working on all year, and quitting the smokes was the last step. I was really worried about gaining the weight back that I've been losing but thankfully that hasn't happened and i think it's because I already had healthy eating and exercise routines in place. I've a...

It has been 21 days of being smoke free and it feels so good. In the next two days i'll be visiting friends who are smokers. I'm sure they will understand that I don't smoke anymore. Really hope I do not slip up and fall into those "only one won't harm" traps. I also do not want to be overconfident about having it under control. Yes my mindframe is in the right place and I have willpower but...

I took Zyban last year and gave up smoking for about 8 months then got annoyed at my boyfriend for telling me he gave up and he hadn't. So I started again I'm back on Zyban and haven't had a smoke in 17 days. This time I will succeed and NOT start again.

Fatigue seems to be the biggest side effect so far.

Well, here i sit ,one month off being 40 feeling like my time is clicking away with each smoke. Ive been smoking since i was 13... ergh! But , im tired of feeling lifeless, out of breath, tired of not being able to do things i love and want to do, like hiking, rock climbing, running with my kids.... im scared i will die young.... i feel i will if i keep going this way. But im scared of quitting.....

Hi guys !! So I’m VERY new and just signed up.. I’ve been smoking for a few years now.. and want to quit! I know I must sound silly but I’m so afraid to quit and gain weight (stupidity) I know! Any hints or tips to beat the fear and go for it. 😊

Just started my quit journey. Just got sick of lying to my loved ones about my smoking. Never used to smoke at home, but as soon as I left home and went to work. I would pull over to the side of the highway and and have a smoke with my coffee. I was always able to blame the nature of my job and the company i keep at work on why i would smell when i got home. This was just a lie to my wife to keep...
