Quit experiences

I have lasted 17 days smoke free so far. I am also 21 days alcohol free also. I must say that I do feel quite good about it all. The biggest thing to me is my smell has returned. I can smell a smoker from a mile away! I can’t believe I used to smell like that! I am using a very low nicotine vape and have found it to be very useful. I have had the odd craving, but nothing that I can’t deal wi...

3 weeks in. my experience on this current quit attempt. No cough not one no runny nose. I was hoping for some energy and umph to excercise- I have none. I am chronically fatigued. I have no energy for anything. metal fog seems to be lessening in the last day. Will it return- I cannot rule it out. Gaining weight at a rate if a stone every 3 weeks. My expectations - none- cannot see a moti...

I'm 61 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had the flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled just...

hello

Just wanted to share that today is my 1 year anniversary of quitting! I wasn't successful at first and it took me a month of trying to actually quit. It was a challenge in the beginning but the last few months I haven't wanted to light up at all. Keep going if you are trying to quit and if you slip just keep trying, you can do it!

Like all other quitters, i'm also going through a rough ride at the moment. Well, today marks my 21 days of no smoking journey which makes me happy but at the same time to be honest i feel sad to lose my best companion. I think it is one of the main reason for some of the smokers struggle to quit smoking in the first few attempts, well at least it is true in my case... deep inside I enjoyed smo...

Two weeks down and a couple of days into week 3. I am still so grumpy sometimes! Anyone care to share around when this part subsides? I know I definitely don't want to smoke but I am being really unpleasant to be around at times and feel like I can't control my emotions as well as I typically can. Help!

TRYING to give up today TRYING not to look like a failure I’m TRYING to focus TRYING too quit again TRYING hard to keep the faith TRY my best again and again TRY my best to quit TRYING harder than ever Just keep TRYING hard Back to TRY again TRYING hard now to not smoke TRYING hard to convince myself TRYING hard to fight the urge Even if I slip up, I'll TRY again If you relapse just...

Champix. Nothing else works for me. Will power certainly didn't work for me. In my expereince and opinion champix will work when it works, no timeframe. Just keep taking until you notice yourself smoking less and less and the need for a cig has become weaker. Then test if how long you can go without. When it is forever you are there. Keep taking the course beyond the quit point. Lastly - NEVER be...

Hello my non-smoking and soon to be non-smoking friends. Yippee!! After decades of smoking, I have been a non-smoker for 3 weeks without a single puff! If I can do it anyone can do it! The number of attempts I have had are sadly in the double digits. I have NEVER made it 3 entire weeks. I now believe it's never too late and you are never too old!!! I am beginning to see subtle benefits and I ...
