Getting started

First morning I woke up and thought yep coffee and smoke time even though I put a 16hr 25mg patch on the day before then I realised I didn't feel like or want a smoke it was just out of habit so I changed my habit instead of making coffee and heading out side for a smoke I made coffee and sat inside on the lounge and opened a windows and enjoyed my morning coffee.

it’s a rainyish day with clouds, feeling stressed, low and craving so badly. the “perfect” time for a puff. i’m not going to but jeez that’s the only thing i can think of, just that blow of smoke and watch it drift off and ahhh, relief. this is hard, so so hard. i am turning thoughts into “no-go ideas” which is helpful but idk if i can do this

Start day tomorrow! Got a great tip from the quitline to start on two nicotine patches, this could be why previous attempts failed. Also decided to have my morning coffee outside on bench seat instead of going back to bed and having a smoke - breaking habits I'm nervous, but positive :)

Hello everyone, I've been reading all the stories and am feeling inspired by everyone's experiences. I am on day 17 of Champix but still haven't picked my quit date. This is the 3rd time I've used it, the first was successful and I didn't smoke for close to 3 years after smoking for nearly 30 years. I can't even tell you why I took it up again but I did and I have now been smoking for the last ...

⭐I've booked in a 🎧 call back from a support worker tomorrow and I feel confident that this will change my life 🙂... I am burning 🍊 orange 🕯️ candles for 💸 money to celebrate (I asked a Clairvoyant for some advice & was told that I could burn orange candles for 💸 money)... I feel 🍀 lucky & 🧚🏼‍♀️ wish everyone all the best... 🦄

The end of my 'Day One' as a non-smoker is just coming to a close. I'm a British lady - purposefully joining an Australian forum because I have terrible trouble sleeping and the nights pose the greatest temptation for smoking. I have been unwell for the last two and half years with Red Skin Syndrome. The pain so was acute that I was only sleeping for a few hours every third day. I depende...

I have been trying to quit on and off for many years I want to finally succeed and just stop I hate the habit

I'm feeling extremely inspired by all the struggle and success stories I am reading on this site. Today is day 3 of my quit journey and I am pleased to say that I am feeling relatively good. Yes, I have all the cravings with the devil on my shoulder telling me to have just one but I keep repeating the mantra NOPE (not one puff ever) - thank you for sharing this. That's really the long and the ...

I've just quit after 38 years of smoking and have long views the filthy, expensive habit as a friend and stress reliever. I now know it's my worst enemy. Day two and I am using Champix and drinking lots of green tea and just eating what I want...but not too much. Today it was salty chips. Any advice for long term success? Thanks Tracey

Today is the day that I say goodbye to the ciggies. I am doing this for my health I have had 2 lots of virus in a month so it’s time. I feel it’s a gentle warning sign. So here goes .
