Quit experiences

Hey Everyone, I am 50 days quit today, what a lovely number. Seems more appropriate to write today, 50 feeling so clean than at 2 months! I don’t know what to say except I never think of smoking anymore. Sometimes I dream I have smoked, but even when I wake up these days I know it’s just another test, and ignore it. My true test has been to ignore the whole concept and keep on keeping ...

Being around smokers helped me strengthen my will power

I am 2000 days nicotine free $50000 better off. Most of all I am still alive. I gave up using this forum after smoking for 53 years up to 30 a day aged 67. I am still 100 days behind Lia my quit buddy. Was it easy ? No. Was it worth it Yes . Can anyone do it ? If the really really want to. Am I safe now ? No , one ciggy will put me back like snakes and ladders. When was the last time I reall...

It's 156 days today since I had my last smoke. There are few days in a week now that I don't even remember about smoking. I feel great. I feel confident about myself. Am able to spend more time with my family. Though I feel my breathing is not completely back to normal there is a tremendous improvement. It's been about 25 days since I had my last drink now. Need to work on reducing my weight. I h...

Would you believe 5 years and 9 months ago when I quit, a carton of Dunhill cost $196. Went to the supermarket today where I used to make that weekly "deposit" into their coffers and discovered now the same costs $376, nearly double when I enquired at the cigarette counter. I visit once a year just to check. That is more than a lot of monthly mortgage payments. So glad I bit the bullet when I did...

Hi guys, today is 9th month of freedom life.. I'm happy that this is a reality.. :) How was month no. 9? Great.. With many downs and ups, currently ups, but just few moments of my thinking was occupied by cigarettes, so in this case it's really better.. Now I see that very likely I will forget think of cigarette at all.. I believe that time will be after 1 year.. So soon.. ;) As I read, the l...

Hii...I quit smoking for 2 days. There is no special reason for me to quit smoking but I want to quit. I started smoking when I was 18 and now I am 54 years old. I have been smoking for almost 36 years. Now I feel tired of smoking .... I want to quit.

I have completed 9 months now. I started having phlegm after around 2 months of quitting and still controlled cough out few times (1-3/4) a day. I take this as a part of healing my lung by expelling tar I accumulated from 18 years of smoking. I do not have chest pain and cough though. I have been googling so much about this but it seems to be so difficult to get convincing and scientific answer. ...

Hi all,I know I don’t post very often but I thought I’d give an update on how my smoke free life is going,I’ve been quit cold turkey now for 5 months,well into my sixth,it’s been quite a smooth ride really along the way,at about the three months mark I felt a bit low in myself but that soon passed,it’s been the most rewarding personal journey I’ve ever taken,life is so much better as a non smoker...

I like that I can be here back with my update, this week it'll 8 months since I choosen better life.. Is it as I expected? No.. Far away from it.. Now I understand that many things what I was not satisfy with had nothing related to smoking.. I can be still lazy, without energy, sad and anxious.. And I don't smoke.. I have agreed with myself that I'll evaluate the day as successfull when I won't...
