the ex came around yesterday, ended up having 2 puffs on her smoke, tasted bad, I don't class this as a setback - more a learning experience, had a few beers at the club this afternoon & the 2nd hand smoke made me cough - 20 days, feeling great (money saved has paid for bike rego)

Dear All, You are my extended family here coz trust me that I can share without hesitation on this platform that once upon a time.. I was a SMOKER. Yes I had no courage to socially admit to my family and friends (except the smoker company). I always wanted to quit and this portal has helped me to stay connected and motivated as I can share my joy of quitting which I couldn't otherwise anyw...

I smoked my last cigarette on Jan 31st, 2019. I thought it would be impossible to quit smoking, but guess what!! I am succeeding. And it's not as difficult as I had thought it would be. I do get cravings, but I am able to fend them off easily. In fact I am enjoying these moments of cravings. They are reminders of how cigarettes play with our minds. I don't want these ugly sticks to play with m...

I’m now on my last few days of champix . I spent most of my 12 weeks on the 0.5 dose as after 2 weeks and going onto the 1 mg dose. I felt sick all the time so was told to stay on the half dose . I have been great . No sickness and no smoking .

So week 3 Champix I’ve noticed I’ve cut down the number of smokes. Today I had a smoke and I almost puked 🤢 wasn’t a great feeling least to say only had a couple drags and put it out. My question what do I do to take my mind and keeps my hands busy instead of having a smoke? I have found lollipops work sometimes but need more ideas struggling mentally at the moment to let them go completely with...

Hi ,I was a chain smoker for 30 years ,got on champix , after 10 days stopped smoking have had any since , have no problems with others smoking around me at all ,my tip is you mentally have to be to be ready to stop ,that is the key to using champix , good luck to all who try to stop it's the best thing you can do for yourself and your family 😀

Start of week 3. I still feel like I could smoke now but my body feels so much better. I feel cleaner and more fresh. I am not really financially driven it would be cool to know more about the physical changes. My taste and smell are better and my eyes and skin too. ha ha. how strange

Welp, I hit my 2 weeks today of being smoke/nicotine free and i relapsed... The first week was cake for me, then the anxiety and depression hit in. I felt like i was losing my mind. Questioning my mental stability. Non stop racing thoughts (bad ones) Anxiety so severe I couldn't focus on any task. I literally stayed in bed for 3 days. I would cry out of nowhere and wonder what was wrong with me?...

I stopped smoking 13 days ago and yesterday I contracted what feels like bronchitis = deep, painful, raspy cough and my lungs feel raw. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to ease the intensity of the cough and corresponding discomfort? FWIW, I quit cold turkey when I had a tooth extracted and was told I couldn't smoke or use a straw for 5 days because I might dislodge the blood clot....

I made the decision to stop smoking Jan. 1, 2019! I am 26 years old and I began smoking in 2016. From 2016 through the end of 2018 I began to notice changes in my health. I didn’t have to see a medical doctor, but I would notice that I was more tired, would be sick with a cold much longer, and experienced shortness of breath. I made the choice to give it my best and kick the habit. I am 23 days i...
