Getting started

I started my quitting smoking journey 13 days ago. I use to smoke 10-15 in a day and sometimes even 1 pack a day. For the 1st 5 days I was completely smoke free but unfortunately after that I haven been sneaking few ciggarate now and then 😔😔. I feel really bad for doing so. So today I have decided to start my journey again. I will be posting my experiences here and read other’s stories as well...

I am 32 years old and have been smoking for 20 years … this is nothing to be proud of. Today my partner and I have decided to give up smoking for good, I have only had 1 other attempt to quit smoking and this was last year and I failed. We need this for our health, our hip pocket and our family. I won’t say I’m not scared … I’m not really sure who I am when I’m not smoking as I’ve been doing for ...

I have been addicted to nicotine lozenges for ten years. They are making me terribly ill. I have made my quit date for Wednesday. Does anyone have any tips?

Today is day 7 and its amazing to me how 1 week can change how i feel completely for the better! I got a full nights sleep last night compared with the insomnia on first 2-3 nights. The mornings are rough but with changing the routine and way of thinking and some proper breathing exercises the cravings can be pushed aside . I've smoked for 30+ years with too many quit "practice runs" that i fe...

Today is my Day 1. My plan is to go cold turkey and replace times that I would have had a cigarette with a walk around the block (it's a small block!) OR with a carrot stick. My partner is a smoker and will smoke this evening at our end of work day chat. That will be hard! Fingers crossed.

I started smoking when I was 16. I was disgusted by it by the age of 18, tried zillion ways and nothing seemed to work. Finally nicotine replacement therapy worked and I successfully quit for 10 years. Now I am 31, I made the classic mistake of lighting one cigarette thinking its one only. I had forgotten all the learnings, how proud I was of not smoking for 10 years and that I am an addict even ...

Today is day 2 of no smoking, I have been smoking since I was 17! Grew up with both heavy smoker parents! A couple of days ago my daughter asked me if I wanna die early! Is that why I smoke so much! And it hit me! I have been smoking for 13 years and I am not even 31 yet! So I threw away everything and hopefully gonna stick to the plan and not pass on this bad habit to my kids like it was passed ...

I've been here before... I gave up for almost 3-years about 10 years ago. Since then i've given up for 9 months, then about 12 months, and a few periods of days, several weeks, a month here and there. I guess i don't have a lot of will power... i struggle with weight as well. I also have leant on replacements, and other prescribed drugs to allow me the brief periods of non-smoking in the past...
