Getting started

Hi everyone, am new here and frankly nervous that I can’t do this. I’ve been an on off smoker for a long time and this whole covid thing ramped things back up for me. I have young children and know I need to stop for good for them. Help! I feel scared that I can’t

I've tried to quit many times before ive tried patches, inhalers, gum. Nothing worked. This time im just trying to slowly cut down each week ive gone from a pack a day to 7 a day

One evening, i was reading a blog of how so many people got this blank card online when i was trying to search for a new job, but it didn’t seem clear to me so i ignored. Three days later, i was so surprised to see a comment by my cousin on how he got the blank card worth Millions of Dollars and without hesitation i gave him a call to come over to the house to tell me more about the card and he t...

Hey all. I’ve been reading all your stories and searching for positive outcomes from champix as I am experiencing some major mood swings. I have read what I think I already subconsciously knew. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and being a non smoker and choosing to not have that lifestyle anymore was the best decision I’ve ever made and will try my best to stay positive.

Today i decided to quit, this is going to be difficult.

Personal story.. after 35 years smoking 20+ a day I decided very suddenly the time was right to stop smoking. I have joined a U.K. smoking clinic and have patches free also invested in a vapour.

I know I am eating more but I can tackle that eventually. Wh...

My quit journey begins tomorrow! I am going cold turkey as I’ve tried reducing in the past and ended up lying to myself and others around me. I’ve been thinking about quitting a lot lately and kept pushing it to the back of my mind or finding excuses. My big step was today saying ‘I need to go to the shop to get ciggies’. When I got to the shop I said ‘no you’re can do this and you will’ so I...

Hello everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right area. But I have quit smoking for 14 days now, and I know that I am still in the early stages. I can handle the cravings but I cannot handle the out of nowhere depression and the crying, even though it is not an everyday thing, IT IS NOT WHO I AM. But when it does happen I cant control it and it is starting to take a toll on my husband emot...

Hi everyone. I’m on here again because I just can’t seem to quit 😢 I’m suffering from depression at the moment as well as stressed. I want to quit but it doesn’t seem like a good time to do so. I need a lot of encouragement but I’m not getting that at home as I don’t want to bother others as they all have enough to deal with. I’m at my wits end with smoking & trying to loose weight. I’m on here ...
