Quit experiences

Good morning, I’ve reached magic day 5! Spending time on this community helps and also the changes I made after talking to Quitline. My mood hasn’t dropped as low as before and I’m feeling more hopeful and confident that I can do this :) I love the magnetic words from the Quitline pack and either make a sentence or choose a single word every morning, it reminds me of a positive journey. Ha...

I am proud to say I have reached day 12 and have not slipped once, not that I haven't thought about it though! Day 7, 8 and 9 were particularly hard and I really needed to stay focused on my quit. I just kept telling myself that it is the addiction talking, I dont really want a cigarette and once this passes I will be fine. I am a mum of 2 girls, a 13 and 8 year old. Being a positive roll m...

Well here I am at 44days nicotine free! Yay! 😊 I have the mindset now that I am a non smoker and that makes all the difference! Good luck to everyone on their quit journey!

TRYING to give up today TRYING not to look like a failure I’m TRYING to focus TRYING too quit again TRYING hard to keep the faith TRY my best again and again TRY my best to quit TRYING harder than ever Just keep TRYING hard Back to TRY again TRYING hard now to not smoke TRYING hard to convince myself TRYING hard to fight the urge Even if I slip up, I'll TRY again If you relapse just...

I am so amazingly grateful to be 100 days free of smoking and any products to do with smoking🙌 I have been looking very forward to this day PuffNoMore and will skipping through the whole day. Love and light to you all and REMEMBER never give up on giving up 🙏❤️

Good morning (Here we go again). I lasted 3 days last week and am approaching the end of my packet. I can’t deal with cutting down so my approach to quit cold turkey and go on patches hasn’t changed. I somehow have to get through the mood drops. I realised last week that when I did start smoking my mood actually didn’t improve, I ‘just’ continued to be depressed and anxious. So I’m trying to f...

I wanted to quit for years. My son hates it. I go to bed thinking right tomorrow im going to quit but every morning I get up put a coffee on and have a cigarette then it's well ive smoked now what's the point on trying to give up today. .I was on champers for a while which helped heaps but I run out of tablets and never followed the course im nearly 42 now and over 20 years as a smoker im sca...

Champix. Nothing else works for me. Will power certainly didn't work for me. In my expereince and opinion champix will work when it works, no timeframe. Just keep taking until you notice yourself smoking less and less and the need for a cig has become weaker. Then test if how long you can go without. When it is forever you are there. Keep taking the course beyond the quit point. Lastly - NEVER be...

After years of believing I am only a social smoker I have had numerous periods of non smoking in my life but would relapse if certain events took place. After a particularly stressful period 2 months ago I started again. Reflecting back I now thank that I was kidding myself that I was only a social smoker. I regularly smoked up to 15 cigarettes per week for a long time. Not a lot by some standard...

Good morning all. So I have made it to day 4 cold turkey 😊 I know I am only early stages into my quit but I feel this is going to be my final one. It has not been an easy few days but I can already start to feel the health benifets from quitting. I have found exercising each day and avoiding sugary foods has helped lift my mood. Looking forward to reaching the 1 week milestone.
