Getting started

Hi All First time poster here but I am hoping someone has/had a similar feeling to me. I really really really want to quit. I have so much hate for smoking yet I find myself still smoking. I set myself a quit date and am so determined to quit then when the date comes, I push back the date or say “after this packet”. I’m scared/worried of the hard work and awful feelings that is to come and ...

Hello all, first time poster! I never had a quit date I just couldn't be bothered going to the shops for smokes. For about a week I barely felt the urge to smoke so I thought I could fly with it as solid quit attempt. During the day with some changes to my habits I find it easy to not smoke but then night and lethargy comes and the cravings kick into over drive. At night I use the nicore...

I have been excited to write 7 days on this forum. I have been here many times before, what always gets me back onto cigarettes is that I don’t have cravings necessarily but reward thinking. Thanks to all of your stories, I have some real treasures in my belt now to stop that, for instance someone wrote of week three being hard and month three. Well, I have felt that in the past as well, but this...

Hello everyone, this is my first day on the process of quitting. I have attempted to quit many times in the past but I can’t stand the feelings of guilt, shame and worries about my health anymore. I have been trying to quit for months now and manage to avoid cigarettes for a few hours until the night comes and I fail again, recently the worst has been not having a smoke in the morning before begi...

2020 was my quit year and yes it was the whole year. I would start day 1 then by day 3 I would be really struggling so why not just have a couple of puffs to get through. Wrong because then it would be more puffs Back to day one and this pattern would be over and over again. Now in 2021 once again day 1 again but am at day 7 finally did get some nrt gum and have a couple a day so far so good. I...

I am trying Champix to help me quit my smoking habit of 26yrs. I am on day 14, I have noticed that I am not enjoying the cigarette and only smoke half of one. My set date to stop smoking is tomorrow, so fingers crossed I can go the day without it. I do feel that I am hungry more, this could be due to the fact I am actually eating something for breakfast now -if I don't I am sick. So I actuall...

Dont give up on trying to quit

<div> Before I share anything else, I must share that I am not a smoker. What I am is addicted to TV, and it is impacting my life in many of the same ways that I see smoking impacting the lives of those who smoke. I read about the efficacy of iCanQuit and figured that I could use much of the process to curb my TV watching. So, if you will have me, I am eager to contribute to the conversation a...
