Getting started

Hi all, I've started giving up smoking and failed for about 20yrs. With the coronaviris going around and currently fighting broncual asthma I made the decision two days ago to give it a shot to quit today. I do however get anxiety without cigarettes and it jumps on my nerves that's why I take up smoking over and over again. I have Nicorette patches and loginzens. Any tips'n tricks to help will ...

Today is day 25 on Champix and Day 24 of last cigarette. Problems I face is stomach cramps and nausea but it all goes away after an hour. I am generally an anxious person so started controlling my mind wandering off to overthinking since I am on Champix. My main trigger is feeling bored. Whenever I am alone at home or I have nothing to do i feel like going for one. So I started watching all the l...

I have purchased Champix to help me quit I have used it before this is the 3rd time for me to give and I swear it will be the last, my breathing is very laboured and my husband hates me smoking wish me luck

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...

I’m 52 and started smoking from the age of 15. I’m an asthmatic with heart arrhythmia and not doing myself any favours to my health or the back pocket for that matter.
