Yesterday night, I had the most vivid dream that I am smoking. And even in my dream I knew I would have to reset my quit clock. Got up startled in the middle of the night and the rest of the night I spent tossing and turning unsure if I had really smoked or it was just a dream. I am 8 months quit and it was humbling to know how much the habit messes with you.

Hello everyone, I have been a smoker on and off since 1982 I was smoking 60 per day.... I had a stent put in my heart last December. Since the I have been trying to quit. Can't do Champix as after successfully using them once, on the second attempt I was suicidal after 1 week. Patches? I developed an allergy to them. Lozenges not good either. I have been using Zyban for a while now ...

Stay appreciative of the effort Made to quite......I feel so much better about myself as a non-smoker. No more shame, inconvenience, cough, horrible smell, expense, anxiety about when I’ll be able to have the next cigarette, freedom from the slavery.

Not sure why I am sharing my thoughts on here but I hope it will help putting it out there and motivate me to press on this time.

Day 20 for me after smoking for over 20 years, cold turkey was the only thing I think would have worked for me but I think I am now over the worst of it. However two nights ago I had an extremely vivid dream in which I had a smoke, I woke up really disappointed with my self and not knowing if I had actually given up. The dream was really unsettling and it made me realise how strong an addiction c...

Dear fellows, I have been away from smoke for more than 6 month now. Now if you ask me about my journey, it was roller coaster for first month but then it gradually started getting normal with intermittent cravings . Let me be very honest today to admit that there are situation or times of my day (some days only) when I really feel to smoke a cigarette or two and feel good BUT I also know...

Just passed a two Year anniversary mark. An interesting part to my quitting process is that I had a time bending experience. What I mean is that there is always before and after smoking, but more importantly in the beginning of my quit the time started moving at a different pace. I found out that without smoking my days became longer because time had slowed down. There were no more smoke breaks. ...
