My partner and I both smoked, he said he wanted and needed to stop so I offered to stop with him. We picked a date and took a week off work so we could support each other and find new habits to replace smoking. The day came and we did it...we got to 9 days smoke free and he needed to go home to go back to work. Today I am 92 days smoke free, he got to 9 days, he stopped and bought smokes on the w...

Hello everyone, I am back from the Gold Coast, and Whitsunday Islands,where I saw family and friends in Queensland. No I didn't smoke this time! Before; During; and After. It looks like I have improved 100% from last holidays. I did have a thought about one when I was relaxing with my dear friends and a glass of wine, but it was only a fleeting thought. I had no time to think about it when I got ...

TL:DR - I'm still a bit shocked or confused that it is extremely likely I won't ever be a smoker again. I've been smoking 20 a day for the last 14 years. Not sure when exactly, maybe a few years ago, I started disliking smoking immensely. So each year, I'd say... maybe this is the year I'll stop. And it kept rolling over to the next year. For the last year, I've increased my exercise (spe...

Hi All Decided to log back in and see how folks are tracking. It had been a while since I visited, maybe late April. I found a few stories that sounded familiar - when does it get better ? when does the anxiety go? etc...I can remember those days well and my heart ached for these folks. So I commented for these folk as I know when I was asking similar things many of you encouraged me. So thankf...

As far as my family & friends knows I haven't had a cigarette since 29.05.2019. I was going strong for 2 weeks and an unforeseen incident at the office lead me straight back to the nicotine monster. I ONLY smoke at the office, not at home or at social/family events. I feel guilty for keeping this a secret from my husband, friends and extended family. I feel anxious when I think I think I can't...

After so many years of loaded guilt , self destruction, fake happiness due to the smoking addiction, I am able almost 10 month guilt free, really happy that I have not smoked. After months of hot and sweaty climate, finally it rained for a long time washing away all the negativity and leaving behind happy feelings and a fresh evening . Normally I would have smoked out of joy but now I enjoy...

For the first time i had a dream that i smoked a cigarette. I do not recall it clearly, but i do remember that i lit a second one later and put it out after a couple of drags feeling terrible about the slip. I remembered it while brushing my teeth this morning, but knew that it was a dream, thankfully . At 250 Smoke free days, I wondered what may have triggered it. Last night hubby and i ...

So I kind of took some puffs last Sunday...I was feeling very down.

I went cold Turkey after 30 years of smoking religiously, i decided to quit due to the reasons we all decide to stop. I have tried a few times too quit using other methods but failed so i threw myself in the deep end and went cold Turkey. To my surprise ive reached 70 days today with disbelief. The struggle has been a rollercoaster from day 1, i seem to be able to go through my regular routine a...
