I always wanted to quit and this portal has helped me to stay connected and motivated as I can share my joy of quitting which I couldn't otherwise anyw...

I made a tea rugged up (its a cold morning here) and am enjoying a almost quiet moment on the deck and realising what true relaxation feels like. By that i mean i used to have a coffee/tea and smoke ritual every morning and thought it was a peaceful moment. No lol . . . this is what peace feels like fresh air and tea . . .

Hi all, I am on day 3 of patches. I'm used to smoking 20-25 cigarettes a day and am down to 2 with the patches on. I have constant headaches since approx early arvo day 1. Does anyone have any advise as to how long these last and anything I can do to make them go away quicker?

Day 19... at 10 smokes a day, 7 minutes a smoke. Thats 1330 minutes or 22 hours of smoking. I was losing one entire day of my life every fortnight sitting or standing just smoking. Thats insane just totally insane! There should be a counter that calculates time... I look at the savings and appreciate the money but look at tje savings in time and its mind blowing. All you quitters rock!

Hi All Oh my goodness think I have turned the corner. Day 7. So relieved thought it would never end. Today is the first day I actually feel ok and not a basket case.
