Hi everyone, wow 74 days smoke free and counting. I can report that my crazing to smoke is far and few, and I can now take deep breaths and fill my lungs with fresh air without coughing my head off. When I decided to quit smoking the first thought that came to my mind was, how could I function day to day and be happy if I didn’t have cigarettes to lean on when facing life’s challengin...

Hi, I'm struggling to stop smoking. I stopped yesterday but started again this morning and have had two or three today.I'm planning on stopping again tomorrow and am determined this time to follow through. I know that the most important thing I have to do is get through those intense urges, especially the morning ones, which I can do by allowing the urge to pass, and distract myself by carryin...

Went to my GP and she was so so pleased, I am on week 5 of Champix and gave up during week 2-3. 14 days smoke free, Still finding it hard at times, but I think its because of lack of sleep. I might have to leave the night dose off she told me, and I am quite happy to try this, but will persevere for another 2 weeks on morning and night.

Hi everyone. I am posting this since I hope it will ease some people’s concerns if they have a similar experience. As for some context, I am generally a highly stressed and anxious person, probably drink more than I should, and am just over 100 days smoke free. I am 45 years old and smoked pretty much a pack a day for 30 years but paradoxically always active. My parents were heavy smokers as ...

Dear Friends, It's been 190 days but it looks like I stopped smoking yesterday. Thank you all I am following NOPE Policy. I.e. Not One Puff ever!!!

So over a month smoke free now but noticing my mouth is giving me grief my teeth and gums are sore if not hurting and my teeth are super sensitive now is this all related to quitting? Anyone else have this problem and yes I have been to the dentist.

Oh dear, I've had an up and down month forgetting to apply my patches on several days ... sometimes 2 or more days and other days the patches have off when I'm sweating! And yes although I've had my non-smoke, non-nicotine disposable Vapestix to help me through all this I've still succumbed to periods of cigarette smoking - a close friend who smokes and I have had at times extreme stress (incl...

Hi. I am 33. I have been smoking since I was 16 and I stopped for the first time 33 days ago. I stopped cold turkey. In the last 3 weeks ive coughed so badly that at times i can not breath. It lasts for up to 5 minutes at a time and it is scary. Afterwards, i have so much phlegm in my chest amd nose its utterly awful. I never coughed wheni smoked and now it feels like i have whooping cough. Has a...

I quit drinking just over 7 months ago and I’ve been telling my partner that I quit smoking on Australia Day, but with the occasional smoke here and there. Looking back over the past two months, I’ve had a cigarette almost everyday so I haven’t really quit at all. I am lying to myself and to my partner and it hit me all today. I really want to quit smoking. I exercise a lot, and I keep very busy ...

It isn't easy, but Champix certainly helped me. I have been a smoker for over 40 years and always thought giving up would be too hard after a couple of half assed tries. I finally tried Champix last year and have now clocked over 200 days smoke free. It really is worth a try. I agree that it increases your appetite and that sleeping is a bit harder, but the eating urge only lasted for a couple...
