Getting started

Day 2 & going strong, I believe from cutting down to zero has helped me stay stronger from not going back. With your help, I know I can achieve the best result. I have smoked for many years, I think about 45yrs. THANKYOU Keeping in good spirit JD

My first day, first day in years that I have not had a cigarette. I feel like I want one, but I don't. I am going to beat this. You were right, everyone. Thank you for commenting on my story, you were right. I hadn't made up my mind. I woke up to many nice and encouraging words from you all, and I think that was it. Yknow, not just being nagged to quit, but being believed in that I could do i...

Dearest Strangers,&nbsp; I have to do this. I'm 24, soon I'll be 25 and that means I've been smoking for 7 years.&nbsp;<br />Why can't I do this? I can't help it, not on my own. Maybe I can, but it doesn't feel like it.&nbsp; I remember the day, the day I started. 27/12/2013. Two days before I began destroying myself was Christmas day, I'd separated&nbsp;from the first girl I had ever dated. No...

Hi all, just a small note to stay I'm on track. Early days but feeling very positive day 1 of week 2, wow the first week didn't drag as much as I thought it would. I have set myself targets and goals for the year, nothing unrealistic just focusing on where I've been before non smoking as appossed to smoking and more visits at the gym as appossed to less visits and which categories make me feel my...

Hey everyone, I am on day 4 of my quit, with nicotine patches, 14 milligram. So far, I feel okay. A couple of strong urges, but Ive been able to handle them. This is my second attempt to quit. I quit 3 years ago for a year, and lost my quit. I wasnt ready, I guess. Not quite sure why it failed, but here I am again. Dr said my cholesterol was high and I know smoking is not helping that, so I made ...

Hi I have been a member for some time, but fell tragically off the wagon of my quit journey. I've finally managed to jump back on that horse and rejoin the rodeo lol. Day 3 for me, early days I know. I have been struggling to find the courage to have another crack and then one day, when I ran out I thought, really I think I have better things to do with my time and money than smoke, so I chose to...

My plan is to quit in 7 days. I've tried tons of times. I've read the allen carr book twice and it never really helped. I smoke 2 packs a day. I don't work so there's a lot of times I smoke out of boredom. I don't have any trouble affording them so it doesn't make me less likely to smoke. My plan isn't really complete as I have no idea what to do all day instead of smoke. I bought several teas to...

I’m a beginner, beginning this new chapter called Smokeless. I just joined. My plan is to stop smoking tomorrow. Today is readiness day. Smoking like a chimney reflecting on every puff why I am doing this. Listening to every hacking cough wondering why am I doing this. Reading every story, every post to strengthen my resolve. I know I can beat the nicotine, I’ve done it before. My challenge is ch...

Hello I’m new to this idea of joining a website to help me quit, I’ve cut down to 3-4 a day and intend to make that 0 by the 1st of January 2020. Thanks to all the encouraging people who share their struggles and successes. Kind regards

Good morning everyone. I just finished reading Allen Car's book on quitting smoking. First of all, thank you to everyone who suggested reading it. I believe much of the material was beneficial to myself, and certainly to others who have read it. Happiness, I believe it was you who got me rolling on the concept of "hating the cigarette"; the idea that we are not actually giving anythin...
