Stories and experiences

Hi All, I haven't shared in a long time, but I wanted to let you all know that I have not smoked now for 282 days and I feel really good about it. Just 2 months ago I was still feeling like why did I do this but it was like the 7th month quit I just felt like wow I did it. Now I rarely even think about a smoke. My husband is now in the process of quitting. He's cutting down gradually and using ...

Keep Calm I extinguished my last poison stick on the 15/3/2020. I started nrt patches on the 16/3 so I am now 1 week free. The first few days were a challenge. However each day is getting better.

Hey guys first time posting just started today as my first day to quit and just want any advice I can get what methods are the best and most effective way of quitting cheers

My mother has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So I'm not only doing it this time for me but as a promise to her. Any positive feedback regarding Champix would be greatly appreciated.

hey folks, first time posting, I was going well for exactly 1 week smoke free when all of a sudden I got a urge to smoke and of course I lit up a cigarette, felt guilty and disgusted going cold turkey is harder then it seems, wanted to ask if anyone has used prescribed medications like champix or any other medications that actually work and if they have bad side affects.
