I just joined this site and am not sure if there will be a response. I smoked for 50 years. I loved smoking. I got sick as I have in the past and needed meds to help with what was probably bronchitis. I suddenly found my self unale to breathe and ended up in the hospital with pnemonia for 4 days. I quit immediately. this was april 18. I am having a hard time staying off smoking, don't want ...

We had a bit of a discussion on statistics involving quitting smoking. The numbers in themselves may seem dismal, but statistics are set and presented to serve the purpose of selling products. Strangely enough, even the nrt manufactureres put in their small instructions to use their product with councelling. (That would include this forum). So who ever is out there, know that you have alread...

I’m quitting tomorrow. Truly over all the crap that comes with smoking. I’ve attempted a few times in the past but this time it feels different.. I’m not scared of doing it and I feel more determined. I’m always up for tips and tricks to help me stay on track.

I have tried many times to quit the stinky cigs. This time I'm determined to do it. Today is day 12 no smokes. I went to hospital short of breath and really sick. Already had been diagnosed with emphysema 3 years ago. Well the doctor said to me that if I didn't quit the smokes I won't be here in 12 months. That was the kick up the butt I needed. I want to see my grandson and future grand children...

Just touching base guys to let yous know that I'm staying strong, oh yes that little nicodemon has been whispering a couple of times in my ear but there has been no mind game, no contemplating, I'm sticking to my guns and it's NOPE. Even rewarded myself last night and splurged on two new pairs of good quality jeans on sale $440 worth for $200. I know it's a little premature but hey what the heck,...

Hello, I’m Joy and I have been a daily smoker for the last 26 years. I am 38 so basically my whole life. I am overweight, unhealthy, and barely sociAlize. It’s to the point where I don’t even do things with my kids. It’s very sad. I don’t want to exist! I want to live! I want to be able to say “ I don’t smoke” and not feel like I am missing something in my life. I also have daily anxiety that I’m...

Day 1 today, smell that fresh air this morning, it's lovely. I'm so glad it's a work day so I will not face temptation. For me it's the first few days that I'll feel fragile, then I'll be right. It's good to jump back on the horse and as Happiness says let's see this rodeos through. Happy Tuesday today everyone, I'm feeling hopeful for a Happy day😊

Okay I fell right off the wagon and I've smoked (chain smoked) for the past two days. I feel really annoyed at myself. Tomorrow is Day 1 for me, fresh start and new beginnings

Hi all you fellow quitters!! I really can't believe that it will be 1 month tomorrow that I've been smoke free. I keep humming 76 trombones led the big parade! I was a rusted on smoker of 40+ a day for 45 years and now am a non smoker. I am quite clear in my mind that I'll never smoke again thanks to Allen Carr's "Only Way" although I am using patches for a back up. A month off the smokes and m...

Hi everyone! So I have decided to quit smoking for the 20th time maybe?!! I am great at stopping but always seem to go back when under extra stress. I lost my partner in a tragic accident last year so have been smoking for close to 9 months straight. Using grief and stress to keep smoking is not ok anymore. I want to be healthy and happy. I know sadness will be there for a long time but why make...
