Quit experiences

G'day all, Day 6 and still free and living the dream. Have disposed of the patches after finishing Allan Carrs book and feel great. I know for sure that I have smoked my last cigarette and used my last patch. It surely is wonderful to be free, Cheers to all

G'day folks, day 4 done and dusted,sleep issues from first two nights of sleeping difficulty hopefully is resolved, slept like a log last night and feeling much better this morning, rested and positive+++, You could say it was a result of exhaustion,however i woke up with Alan Carrs book open on my chest, so i reckon i slept the easy way. positives are, even with the COPD i'm breathing easier and...

Coming near the end of day 3,its 5am, still having trouble sleeping. Due to a tip i bought Alan Carrs' book and half way through it already, wish i had it on my 1st attempt, but as they say "wishes are fishes, and they all go back to the sea" Feeling good, hope everyone is well & FREE!!

Hi everyone i started on this site nearly 4 yrs back and i haven't looked back. I pop in now and again to offer my support to people starting the long road to quitting smoking. I had classmates named Dobbin, Lea, Steve and other great people with whom i shared advice and support. Really as i approach 4yrs quit i do not think of cigarettes . Furthermore due to increase in costs i would not e...

I thought I'd share some more with you all. At the time of my quit date I was 6' 8" tall at 300lbs. My blood pressure was 195 over 98. I decided to go on a 2000 cal low sodium diet at the same time that I quit smoking. Talk about self inflicted pain! Counting calories helps distract my cravings for cigs, and my taste buds are coming back so food tastes alright without salt as well. Last week at t...

I was a heavy smoker for a looong time 2 packs a day I've tried for a few times to quit, but unsuccessfully, and I realized my approach was wrong. I am a truck driver, and it's was absolutely impossible to replace the smoking with anything else while i was doing my job, so...i chose a day to start, I bought a few good PS games And i locked in my room for at least 4 days. My wife understood me ...

Thanks to all the support I have received from my family, and my friends on this site, the journey has been pretty smooth sailing. Have had some pangs, but they don't last long, and are very minor. Reading the Allen Carr book has been a great help as well. I was pretty determined when I started out that this time would be be the forever time. If this first week is as hard as it gets, then I s...

Hello Today is 1/1/2020 my quit date, in the morning I was strong as I never really smoked much until after lunch anyway. Around 3pm I rolled a smoke and smoked half and just had the other half then. I feel a little disappointed in myself but will continue on as the positives are I only smoked 1 cigarette today. Thanks to the i can Quit crew for your emails and support and to all the courageous ...

Well i am on day 5 today! 2 more days and im at one week! Since the first day, i havent slipped. Day 3 i thought i was going to go crazy since it was my first day back to work and dealing with customers. But i made it though. Still using the step one patches. Day 4 was a little easier...Thank God! The hard part is the hand to mouth motion. Has anyone else find it hard to break that one? I found ...

I finally read the Allen Carr book. I'm 19 days using 15mg nicotine patches. I decided after 14 days to halve them. The next day I forgot to put the patch on. I survived! So I thought about using half every second day. I survived! Then I thought do I really need them at all? NO!! So now I have decided to go cold chicken....its like cold turkey after you have started on NRTs. But..... The ...
