Day 1 today in my lifelong love/hate relationship with smoking. I already know that day 3 is my worst enemy, day 21 is my risky complacency day and any form of high stress just sends me straight back to the cigarette counter BUT this time i have new tactics. I have developed diffusion and distraction techniques, I've downloaded and registered on the icanquit app. I've entered the icanquit number...

Hit another milestone today. 2 whole months!! Feeling very happy. Nothing much changed since last update. Still have thoughts about smoking (about 4 or 5 a day) but pass after a few seconds. None have come close to making me relapse. Still no Zyban, but doubt Ill use it now anyway since all "cravings" are mental rather than physical. If youve just started then I urge you to keep going and ...

Hi Everyone, at last 150 days smoke free, I couldn't wait for 200 days to tell you all. I have learned many things including being the first time on any forum. I did come back refreshed from my holiday and got stuck right into my new voluntary position (devising a programme and managing people) It went OK but I had very little sleep the night before. I can vouch for the learning of meditation...

It has now been 10 months since I had a cigarette. I was smoking a pack a day and 1 day I just stopped with the aid of nicotine patches. The first 6 weeks were the hardest. At 4 weeks I was very anxious but i thought that it would be a huge waste to get this far and start smoking again. It is by no means easy but after 6 week the cravings started to subside. I still get the occasional feel for 1...

Hi guys, I've just found this forum and thought I'd join in! I smoked approx 15-20 roll ups a day for around 6 years on and off. I'm currently on day 11 of my smoke free journey using NRT 21mg patches! This is probably my 5th time of attempting to quit over the years but this time I feel is the most positive and I feel like I will never go back to it. The first week was the hardest part for me...

Although i found myself on a quit site the first day i woke up and didn't feel like a cigarette due to bettering my health with a lung cleanse, I instantly saw that what i had doubted for years was possible... I could quit smoking if i really wanted to. One of the fears of quitting is the time left on your hands. What will you do to fill those voids? I had quit my part time job at the same ti...

I am still here and now on Day 17. The last couple days were particularly difficult. I wanted to smoke but have managed to hold out. Today I was incredibly tired and would have liked nothing better than to have a cup of coffee and two cigarettes, yes two! I had none and here it is the end of the day. Two posts today are from individuals who are well into the journey of never smoking again. ...

August 06, 2019 | 7:45 Hi there everybody. I am on day 15 of Champix and was feeling that the side effects weren't worth it any more so searched for guidance online. Wow, I have read through some comments and could just keep going. I am down to around 3-4 cigarettes a day now but feel I could drop to one in the morning one at night which is my goal by the end of this week. I have multiple ...

I had food poisoning and was extremely unwell and could not smoke-so now 2 days later I am telling myself the first cigarette will make me feel ill. Crazy as it sounds I can not smoke unless I have a drink as an accompaniment so have told myself that I can have a cigarette without a drink (YUK). I am missing them, I have so many gaps to fill. I am keeping my quitting a secret in case I jinx mysel...

well, I used up the 4 week 'Initial' supply of Champix and (as instructed) back to the doctor (120 more pills?). So I went to the 'Official' mytimetoquit site looking for info on these pills....well, I was led to the 'Google-PlayStore' and it's the hardest sign-up, most posts are over 4yrs old and vague. So, I'm back here :). I am happy with my progress 1-3 ciggs. a day down from 30-50 I haven't ...
