Stories and experiences

Dearest Strangers,&nbsp; I have to do this. I'm 24, soon I'll be 25 and that means I've been smoking for 7 years.&nbsp;<br />Why can't I do this? I can't help it, not on my own. Maybe I can, but it doesn't feel like it.&nbsp; I remember the day, the day I started. 27/12/2013. Two days before I began destroying myself was Christmas day, I'd separated&nbsp;from the first girl I had ever dated. No...

I busted back on the gasbers today

Hello people, It is my first time posting here. Today I am 10 days smoke free! I quit cold turkey. Today is also the first day I had a major craving while working. I recognized the trigger immediately - work and a cup of tea at the same time. I am a Graphic Designer and I usually work from home; it has always been easy for me to have a smoke while working and having a tea or coffee. Work used to...

1 day off the gasbers and I feel like death

Hi all Well today is my birthday and for the first time since i was 14(iam 42) i have been able to celebrate it being a non smoker and nicotine free. Also tomorrow is another mile stone for me which i wasnt sure i would make but it will be 5weeks (35days)that i have been on my quit journey woop wooop 😊

I’m 52 and started smoking from the age of 15. I’m an asthmatic with heart arrhythmia and not doing myself any favours to my health or the back pocket for that matter. Tried on numerous accounts without success. Smoking has taken its toll over the years and not sure if it’s failure that’s stopped me trying over again or the fact after a meal, coffee or stressed a cigarette is my best friend. Coll...

What a nice surprise. 1700 days smoke free and $39984 saved from the ash tray. Tomorrow it will be over $40000... IT REALLY IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO QUIT. If anyone thinks it wont happen in their country, think again. Wait long enough and work out how hooked you will be when you no longer can afford to support this habit. Besides, life after quitting means you will inhale and exhale without what f...

Hi all. First time joiner and poster 😊 I started smoking age 14, quit age 31 for 8 years then started again 3 years ago. I’m 23 days in of ditching the death sticks and have found it relatively easy. I think this is because I had an easy experience when I quit the first time and know that I can live very happily as a non smoker because I did it for 8 years! I have used patches (21mg) as they hel...

I'am 24 going on 25 years old and i have gone a full day without smoking. At certain points it was hard but i'm remembering how my father died of Lung Cancer and how it was now affecting me as well negatively. A strong support team and the urge to not want to smell or taste like crap really moved to do this and i really want to never have one again :) I can't wait for the upcoming days, weeks ...
