Hi people. I posted a couple of times earlier on my journey. Ive reached 2 weeks, might not seem like much, it’s huge to me! I gave up when pregnant and just spoke to my son at 21 years and Realised I have smoked all his life. After breastfeeding. 2 weeks in feels doable. I’m sick of thinking about it because I’m over it so look forward to the day when it’s not on my mind at all. My sister visit...

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?

This story was, at first, just a knee jerk experiment. My mum quit smoking February 2013. I was still smoking a year later. Every time I rolled a cigarette, a voice went off in my head, laughing at me: "Your mum smoked almost 50 years and was able to quit. You haven't smoked 30 years, yet, and still can't quit! Loser…” Dad had already quit for good in 1981. I was due to visit mum in Vegas May ...

It doesn't matter what my excuse was, we come unstuck if we listen to those excuses. I had a smoke and it didn't do anything for me. I knew right then I had to put them down and keep them down. I threw out the remaining cigarettes and I've stayed smoke free since then. If you are tempted, forget it, they aren't worth it. Just put them down and stay put down! Things will then improve one day ...

My name is Teresa, I’m 59 and will beat this. I woke up on the 28/7/18, I thought I’ve got 4 ciggies in my packet I’m going to stop today. Well after 45 years of smoking, I’m still going 43 days today......it’s tuff, I keep reminding myself everyday you can do this, some days are ok others I struggle. But I’m damn determined to do this, I love being able to answer no when someone asks “do you smo...

So, i have an almost 3 month old son. I am desperately trying to quit smoking. I went from 7pm last night till 7am this morning without a cigarette (i usually wake up and smoke before his scheduled night feeds) anyway he started screaming for a bottle and nappy change, my stress levels rose so i had a cigarette. Now this bright spark here (me) decided, i need to troubleshoot a better way to deal...

I am now two months, two weeks and four days free from the disgusting cancer sticks. As a 61 year old female I started smoking at 14 because at the time it was a cool thing to do. I never ever, thought I would be able to get out of the clutches of the evil that had consumed and controlled me, from the moment I woke til I went to bed. In health and sickness, if nicotine had continued on it's dest...
