Quit experiences

Due to what is currently going on the world with Corvid19 I have been severely worried about catching the virus and going through the symptoms whilst being a smoker. I had cut down all of a sudden to at least 1 smoke a day from the 23rd of March due to my fears of not being able to recover if I did catch the virus and I just didn’t feel like it was doing it for me anymore, if that makes sense. ...

Hi, as mentioned in a previous post, i started on patches and was off and on smokes for about 6 months. Once i decided that this is it I am not having another smoke this is what I did and this was my attitude. My attitude was simple, I knew I needed the patches mainly to take the edge off both cravings and withdrawal and my new attitude was i will not replace smoking with anything else, i will ha...

Hi all. I’m on day 10 of quit. I am using nrt patches. I’m doing ok apart from being really tired - anyone else experienced that? Any suggestions would be great.

Hi all, ive been cruising along enjoying my smoke free life and barely thinking about it. Last night i went out to club with hubby drinking and dancing with band and he slipped up. I felt a twinge for about 3 seconds flat and said to myself no way girl, just breathe and side step this. I thought about if i did what it would taste like and i knew yucky yuck and NOPE💪💪💪 Held strong and true and ...

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...
