I have smoked for 33 years and at 48 I'm several attempts down the road of trying to quit, today is day 5 of stopping smoking. Even though I have tried to stop before, I always end up starting again when under any form of stress, cigs are my 'go to' and even though I know this I haven't found anything else to do as my 'go to'. This time feels very different, Ive never done drugs and I drink very ...

Hi, I'm one month smoke free today and am heaps pleased with myself. This has been part of a transformation of myself that I've been working on all year, and quitting the smokes was the last step. I was really worried about gaining the weight back that I've been losing but thankfully that hasn't happened and i think it's because I already had healthy eating and exercise routines in place. I've a...

I’m quitting right this minute. My tip is not one puff ever. Im going to do it whether it’s easy hard. I’ll run naked down the street before I take another puff.

Hello all the way from Derby, England! I stumbled across this site whilst looking for advice/support. I am trying to quit mainly for health reasons, I like to push myself hard in the gym but I'm starting to realise I can only push myself so hard as smoking holds me back. I quit about 48 hours ago so it's still fresh and the temptation is killing me! I sat outside a supermarket for 10 minutes on t...

Long story short. I have a prescription starter pack of Champix, but decided a few hours ago I had enough of smoking after I came back from a lousy rainy run. It does help I was also out of cigs. I've been planning to quit for while, and was able to get a prescription of Champix before I moved internationally from my previous GP.
