Quit experiences

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...

Quit cold turkey, I smoked around 2 packs a day, for a few years, and one pack for around 12 years.been having Anxiety, chest tightness, shortness of breath, digestive issues, bloating, apparently my colon got inflamed about two weeks after I stopped. Still having issues with that. Wondering if anyone e...

18 days and still..NOPE! Even after a week of tonsillitis! I’m still using the patches and finding them helpful, going down to the second level of nicotine this week and slightly nervous about it. Although I no longer need them at night due to waking up feeling agitated like something is missing (that first cigarette with your morning coffee that used to seem so important!), I do struggle if I do...

Hi guys. It has been 14 days since I last smoked. I have been feeling dizzy, nauseous, disoriented and downright frustrated. Please let me now how long these symptoms last for. I went cold turkey one fine Sunday but the persistent fatigue makes me feel like smoking is the solution to feeling myself again.

So that's me 84 days since my quit date. I had a drink of alcohol last week for the first time since I quit. I was with someone who was smoking and I took 3 puffs of their roll up. It was horrible! It tasted disgusting and it actually made me more determined never to smoke again! In a way I'm glad I tried it as it just sealed the deal I have with myself never to be a smoker again. I am so proud o...

Keep busy with distractions.

Hi guys. Mine 22nd day.. :) How was week 3? The main difference I see that when I'm tired, I don't have taste to have one but to go sleep. Therefore my evenings are now without strong cravings as it was during first two weeks. During day I have less cravings also, but there are still with me and they are very tricky, I feel emptyness and it asking me to fullfil it with something, as I used...
