Quit experiences

Its a very simple story, it started with my thought process towards my upcoming baby. My wife is pregnant and 7th month is running. One fine day i was sitting idle and thought of my baby with a cigarette in my hand. Albiet I was enjoying smoking, but that day some energy came to my mind which forced me to give a thought towards my babies health due to smoking. I decided to quit that day and belie...

I'm an American male in my early 30s. I decided to quit smoking last year on October 12th, two days before my 31st birthday. I had smoked on and off for a few years but had pretty much been a pack a day for two years. What made the date to quit easy was that I wanted to say I quit "by the time I was 30", and on October 12th, I was still 30 years old for 48 hrs. Secondly, I suffer from anx...

can't explain withdrawal symptoms its nightmare but I guess everyone has there own story and their own battle, after decade of smoking inhaling those toxic and poisoning myself I'm glad I have come this far. I still dream about smoking and have that urge for smoke but I know I won't touch it again. I'm having these popping sound in my chest now and then don't know if its ribs or lungs, my hous...

Hi all. I'm back again. After successfully being smoke free for two and a half months, I slipped. Actually, I crashed and smoked more than before. Maybe because of covid, or possibly other reasons, nobody had time for me. Had nobody to turn to and felt it was me against the world. Sad to say, cigarettes became my best and only friend. After much thought and causing too much pain to my family, I d...

No idea how it happened, been smoking since I was 17 and I'm 55 now. In mid-January this year, I just woke up one morning and said enough is enough, still don't know how I did it after so many feeble attempts over the years. It's like a switch in my head got flicked; only contributing factor is when I woke up that morning, I told myself I was a non-smoker. Only wish I had found that switch earlie...

Still having issues with that. Wondering if anyone e...

So I’m sat here eating an apple when I’d love to go and light a cigarette right now! I’ve been using nicotine patches to cut down since 06/07/20 and my quit date I set myself was yesterday 10/07/20, not because I felt the need to rush but because I found it SO easy to go from 15+ a day to just one the day before I quit, that I didn’t even enjoy! I can’t shake the cravings and the actually the thi...
