I’ve been taking each day as it comes staying smoke free and every day I don’t have one the easier it feels. I have also tested myself in the last couple of days and sat and talk to other people that smoke and I have not wanted to do it which is good because in the past this has not been the case. Feeling strong on day 13

I smoked for 45 years and when I quit exactly one month ago today, I was smoking two packs a day. I had tried quitting twice in the past, one time cold turkey and the second time with the patch. The withdrawal both times was so bad that I'd walk into things, my mind was hazy, I was angry and irritated with everything and everybody. Both times my husband said, "Enough."  I was miser...

If I live to be a hundred, I will never forget the vile sickness that consumed me when I smoked my last cigarette. I was in my garden, doubled over, trying to suck the smoke into my lungs between deep, violent coughs which tore at my chest and expelled huge, filthy phlegm bombs out across the floor. One small drag, one huge cough… …Another small drag, another disgusting blob splatting out, fee...

Today I celebrate 1 week with out one cig. I am confident that I will stay on tract at least today. Still paying my dues like everyone else here but I am strong and I can do this. Think the fear of disappoint if I had one cig is the biggest driver for me.

I haven't had a cigarette for almost 48 days. I'm so proud of myself. Sometimes my mind says just have one but I'm standing firm and that will not happen.

Hi everyone Just thought I’d share something I think I’ve learnt recently. Background- I have been a pack a day smoker for 20 years, started when I was 16. I have quit a few times for max maybe 6months. I have been trying to quit since I was 21. So I have been genuinely trying to quit for 15 YEARS! Can you believe that. I have tried many things, patches, gum, champix, cold turkey etc. the only ...

Others have had slips, and i am not invulnerable. I do know this, especially since i had such an easy quit in comparison to others. We all deserve our just reward for believing and trying. We tried whether we succeed long term or not. I choose to believe i will. I am here everyday to see how easy i had it, and to encourage others, and hope that others can find their way with guidance. It is my w...

It definitely gets easier. I am now at a point where its easier just to stay quit. I have put on some serious weight but on the bright side I almost never consume alcohol. Used to be a 3 to 4 times a week alcohol drinker. What I want to share is that cravings do completely recede Good luck all !
