She was able t...

I was 4 months smoke free and I caved. I was wondering how I can go about getting off them again. I’ve only been doing it 2 weeks but I realise I can’t Just have 1 and need to quit again. Please help so angry with myself

Hi all I had no intention to ever put a note back on the site but just had to share my experience. I should be 550 days into a quit but I'm not. I stumbled an fell again and allowed the addition to do my thoughts in. Having said this I have tried to stop so many times, so many times I just can't tell you. It is actually embarrassing for a person who considers himself reasonably intelligent. Any...

Hi All, I thought I would log on and say hi and can happily report I am 368 days and going strong. I have achieved so much financially in a year on things I would not be able to afford if I was still smoking 🚬 . Don’t miss it and my only regret is I didn’t stop sooner, but better late than never. It’s funny when your with smokers how some feel uncomfortable around you, and they will say I’m g...

My journey to remain smoke free has been difficult at times, challenging to say the least after rotator cuff surgery, and almost impossible when I nostalgically looked back and romanced the cigarette. This accomplishment is not mine alone, it belongs to you also. It was your personal stories and words of encouragement that helped me achieve this milestone, Thank you. Being challenged by cigarette...

Hi. Just popped in to share that I will be 4 years smoke free in a few hours. I remember the seemingly unending cravings I had when I first quit and the help I gained from this forum. People I didn’t know giving support and suggestions made my quit journey possible. I have saved $36000 and possibly my life. I was 67 when I quit and after around 53 years of smoking I finally had enough. For me it ...

Hi guys i am on day 41 and struggle to fall asleep is this normal

I've just joined the 4 digit club and it feels great!! I gave up with nrt, first mouthspray then gum. It really is just the nicotine. After a while I could be in the newsagents and not think about buying cigarettes but when I was in the chemist I'd think 'oh, some gum would be nice'. It took a while but I'm now free of nrt, smoking and nicotine altogether. No intention of going back or having an...

As a never Quit Quitting Quitter, I found new tools for me to STAY Quit this time! Picked my quit date. Threw away anything and all things related to smoking. Accountability: Told my Family, Co-Workers, Friends, that I was quitting. If I get an urge at work, I walk with one of my "smoking" friends, who won't smoke around me. I advised them I had to stay away from smoke. Period. Downloaded "...
