Quit experiences

Hi everyone, it's been 60 days. And I'm feeling liberated, in control and relieved that I've finally stopped smoking. I don't ever want to go back to that filthy, smelly, expensive, socially unacceptable habit again. I still have times that my mind tries to tell me that just one won't hurt. But we all know that's just not true. One of you told me that they travel in packs, and I've been there bef...

I feel if I document it here, it'll hopefully stop me relapsing again! I had 2 cigarettes in the last hour, I could've worked through it if I tried but in my mind I'd already decided to smoke. As soon as I had them I regretted it. My nose is starting to feel stuffy and I can smell the stink on my hands and clothes. It didn't make me feel any better - but there's an underlying issue that's ...

Hello to everyone, I am new to this site and would just like to share my experience so far. I am now 2 days smoke free and today is my 3rd day. Last night I had 6 hours of sleep as where Sunday evening I only had 2 hours. It is getting better day by day but this morning on my way to work I could feel the cravings at certain areas where I use to light one up in the past. I did not give in to that ...

I though my life was over. But learning facts and understanding the problem at hand lends hope. Belief that it is in you to overcome and win is essential. Support and understanding and help from others like therapists make for a more positive attitude as you make progress every day. I am now walking and have more hand manipulations. I get to go home for the weekend again and return for just 4 mor...

Hi, I am so sorry if this is not the right platform but I dont/have never smoked but my husband has for the last 10 years and is currently trying to quit. He goes through extreme mood swings, depression, paranoia and shuts down. I feel lost on how to support him and struggle to put myself in his shoes because to me everything seems ok while his world is collapsing. And then he'll break and smoke ...

Yesterday I was cleaning out my utility room and found an old electronic cigarette. I am not sure how long it's been hidden in a cabinet but I found it. So there is a little push button on the side of it that I stupidly pushed to see if it still worked . Here is the part where I call myself a total idiot because I put this thing in my mouth and inhaled. In a few seconds I get an urge to smoke and...

Hi All, we were all scared to quit....when that quit date approaches closer and closer we start to panic. Do you know why? Because your life is about to change for the better....but you don’t quite believe that yet...do you? If you read the many stories on here and really absorb what they are saying....not one person who has quit has ever said ..... it was the worst thing I ever did. There are m...

Quit Experience - Month Five. I am Fifty Two Years old and have been a two pack a day smoker since i was 15 Years Old. I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in September 2019. I immediately quit smoking. I was so scared that I was going to die that smoking was not always on my mind. However after months I still wanted to smoke and always fixated on smoking. I can say the desire to smoke has l...

Sorry to say that my anxiety got the best of me, and I lost my quit

I am happy to say I am a non-smoker. Saying this aloud to my loved ones helped me accept this. My eight month mark seemed to be the most difficult for me. I have pulled through that difficult time and now I feel a lot better. I have persevered. I don't smoke. I am content. Unfortunately all of my money is going on doctors. I am being treated privately for my mental health. I am stable and fairly ...
