Hiya all Newbie here from the UK. I'm on day 98 and I can tell you it's been hard I quit the day after my Dads funeral I told him I would stop and I have kept my word bit as you can imagine it hasn't been easy but I did it through the hardest time in my life,my dad had copd heart disease bowel cancer etc and I watched him every day wither away to nothing it does out things into perspective,98 da...

I’ve been taking each day as it comes staying smoke free and every day I don’t have one the easier it feels. I have also tested myself in the last couple of days and sat and talk to other people that smoke and I have not wanted to do it which is good because in the past this has not been the case. Feeling strong on day 13

I smoked for 45 years and when I quit exactly one month ago today, I was smoking two packs a day. I had tried quitting twice in the past, one time cold turkey and the second time with the patch.

One small drag, one huge cough… …Another small drag, another disgusting blob splatting out, fee...

Went out to the pub last night for a family get together. Was worrried how i would go because of smokers in family. It went well. Had lots of support from family and friends and those that did smoke smelt terrible. My advise at this stage is that you feel like a smoke, sniff a smoker. Yuk. LOL

Not so bad, because I still have a cold and cough so that makeshifts it easier to say NO. I wa

So far so good. It hasn’t but that’s hard, partly because I st
