Quit experiences

Hi, I quit smoking July 1, 2020. But there are some weekends I drink a bottle of beer or two. I smoke for like 1-2sticks when I am drinking. I regularly smoke 10 sticks a day before I quit. I’ve been smoking for 10 years. So fast forward, september 27 was my last beer and smoke. After 2 days, i think the symptoms came. I have numbness in my left arm to and around my heart muscle, sometimes in the...

I only just joined here yesterday. Am over 3 weeks smoke free. I posted yesterday about dealing with over 3 hours of intense cravings due to work stress. Turns out that is not my worst day. The work I did yesterday was to put in for funding for my job. Today just learned I wont have a job after Christmas. Work decided they were not going to seek further funding for my role. Am so tempted to...

Hi Everyone, Im Charki and I quit smoking in September, just over 3 weeks ago. I thought I had gotten through my worst cravings to smoke especially the physical ones but today was a whopper of a day. Over 3 hours of intense cravings to smoke. My brain was giving me a hard time I tell you. I had a deadline on a project for my boss and was falling behind stressing. Working from home and tryin...

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...

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.
