It has been a while since I last post here. I am happy to say I am still smoke free. However, since yesterday I am having these junky thoughts again - definitely linked to the Christmas holidays.....We are going camping. My sister smokes (they are joining us) and so does my hubby. It is not really the thought of them smoking as much as the thought of having to relax around the campfire and no...

I quit smoking cigarettes July 11. It has been a little bit of a struggle. I have taken Chantix as medication and it has worked for me. I was wondering if any of you happen to have any issues after quitting? I find myself tired so early in the evening. I also have body aches and constipation? I have also gained 15 pounds. It’s been almost 5 months and still feeling this way :(

So it’s been 81 days and still quit, I have accomplished so much in the last 11 1/2 weeks. I would like to say I have saved $1800.00 but instead I have put it into the house as in painting, gardens ect, the money didn’t go to waste and the house looks incredible.😁😁👍 I do say to people I may or may not smoke again but if I do least I am accomplishing what I need to do, I have no desire to start...

Hello everyone, I quit smoking and vaping several days ago, so now I am inspired to share my success story. I decided to quit smoking last year, but then I started vaping. I can say that it helps to stop smoking. But now I decided to quit vaping; I think it will be great for my health. I did it because of my cat. I noticed that it reacts on the smoke from a vape, and understood that it could be...

As a now proud to say nonsmoker, my advice is to stay focused and committed. We all have the strength inside of us to stop harmful habits and self-defeat. I know that when we fight the fight and remain determined and view the cancer-causing sticks as the enemy, we win the war. I have not thought of smoking since I stopped abruptly, cold turkey, after making myself consciously hate the disgusting...

I've tried to quit smoking 3 times already. The first time I didn't smoke for almost 2 months but I put on 6kg and as soon as the stress came back I started smoking again. What is the best way to start? Would you use nicotine patch or gums and which one is best? How did you deal with the hunger and gain weight? How did you deal with the stress?

I never thought i could quit. But i have. Anyone can as i have learned . I quit by accident, trying to better my health, do something for myself if i wanted to avoid further Copd health issue and of course avoid lung cancer. So i found and took a simple lung cleanse of Ginger and Turmeric ( 2 Tbs morning and again before bed) to rid of toxins. I later found out that Ginger prevents nausea a...

I’ve been quit since August 11th but have really been struggling recently. I had a slip up in Oct where I smoked a couple of fags on a night out, but have had a bit more of a blip in the last week and feel so ashamed of myself but at the same time tempted to just kick it all in. I’ve been off work with depression for the last month and the temptation to smoke just to get that lovely nicotine rush...

After several attempts, I finally quit in 1978. I was seriously addicted but eventually determined to stay off nicotine. My successful method was initially to cut down by one cigarette every day but towards the end it was more like every two or three days. My withdrawal symptoms were very difficult - anxiety, bad temper, physical longing, even hallucinations. I became quite compulsive about cutti...

Good morning everyone it's been almost 6 months for me being smoke free cold Turkey. What I am experiencing is anxiety like symptoms more often like every other week. I don't want to smoke I don't have the urge. But I don't want result to meds for anxiety. Can anyone give me any insights on how to deal with this. Its draining. But I will stay strong day by day. I never experienced anxiety before ...
