Stories and experiences

I have resigned as a smoker. I have been quit for over 19 weeks. My hands were splitting daily with dry skin. I have been told to drink plenty of water. I have been told to give up coffee and tea. I have been told to constantly apply moisturiser. The spitting stopped when the smoking stopped but my hands are still dry. This last week has been difficult to navigate because I have wanted to purchas...

Hi All, You know multiple quit attempts is a positive......if you keep trying it means you are serious about the quit journey. It would be so easy to try and fail and never try again. But everyone who keeps trying knows in their heart and mind that this is something they really want to achieve.....and with every try you will get closer to achieving your goal. I can’t count the quit attempts I h...

I've lost count of the amount of times I've tried to quit. They say you never really fail until you stop trying though so here we go again! I have asthma and recently suffered with a cold which aggravated chronic bronchitis - both of these exasperated by smoking. These diseases cause shortness of breath and horrible coughs. I absolutely hate what I've done to my lungs. The damage is i...

My dad always told me that if you got your health you got it all. I'm eating healthier. I would highly recommend getting a NutriBullet. The two drinks I enjoy is carrots and apples, banana and milk.

wow nearly a full week without a smoke. Am doing okay only find that my anxienty is back on a higher level again. Am hoping that this will soon pass. Plus I have an appointment with counsellor on Tuesday which should help. The other help is seeing how much I have already saved.

I often mention Allan Carr's book as being a great tool in accepting the journey but I have been reminded of someone just as persuasive. Whyquit is another forum and Joel Spritz gives great advice. An old member dropped by and I read his story and years ago he wrote a story and recommended for everyone to read it, and I agree. So here is the link again.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_L3LIa...

I'm still here, I haven't abandoned ship LOL. Evening folks (it is almost midnight here on Friday) It has been a crazy busy week for me & I apologize that this is the first time I have had a chance to pop in. I see there are lots of new stories & can not wait to read them. An update from me...I am still struggling to fully launch. I have switched to an electronic cigarette with 14 mg of nico...

I tried two other times to quit smoking. 2 days ago I was having a very strong craving withdrawal and I almost went and bought a pack but instead I made me a cup of green tea and after drinking I had absolutely no craving for a cigarette whatsoever. You can drink green tea hot or cold and it definitely works. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Darren 76

I smoked for 25 years. I did some research on the internet and discovered that green tea is very helpful when quitting smoking. When your having a craving green tea Works amazing and it keeps me calm. I highly recommend drinking green tea because it works for me. I quit smoking on Sunday August 11th 2019 and I feel so much better. Darren 76
