Staying quit

4 years ago was the last I smoked and it feels good, real good to be smoke free. Recently I went through a lot of job related stress and I kept reminding myself it would have been a lot worse had I been smoking through it. Staying quit is hard because I feel I can never let my guard down but it's worth it. To be able to breath fresh air and feel fresh Good luck to all of you

Just think of your Family how much you can be there for them, that you will be healthier and happier and more money to save on our holidays each year. My family are very proud of me it's only 3 days in but i am feeling fantastic!!!

Well here we are 30 months to the day (912 Days) since I last had a smoke. I was out at the weekend and was tapped on the shoulder by a stranger looking for a light, I told them I don't smoke, funny thing is the same silly person got a light from somewhere and later offered me a cigarette. YUK. Finally I now really class myself not as an ex smoker but as a non smoker.

I can't believe where time has gone, I am now smoke free for nearly 4.5 years and so very proud of myself. The only sad thing is that I cannot celebrate with my ex smoker buddies and family who smoke since they are still smoking and see it as a "jab" in their direction when I don't want to join in the cold when they smoke outside or want to take a break every 10 minutes to do so. I don't see myse...

Hello It's been 62 day's since I quite smoking, my journey has been rewarding on so many levels. I can breath better, I have saved money & I have so much more energy. But I think the difference for me was I wanted to quite .. not have to quite.. and I think that has made a big difference on how I had handled the challenges a long the way of staying a non smoker... I now go to the gym and I...

Even after a short time of quitting smoking completely I feel very very confident I will never smoke again. I feel and look so much better the feeling healthy part is the best because my cough is disappearing and I can exercise and I am over the whole addiction really. Bright sunny days are ahead of me sans cigarettes! I’d like to tell others that it is definitely worth the pain and struggle they...

I smoked my last cigarette on the 7 th June 2001 that is just over 21 years ago.I used nicotine replacement therapy to help me on my new smoke free journey. What also helped me was drinking lots of orange juice and water , walking briskly in the fresh air was also very beneficial in quitting.It was difficult at first but I persevered because I knew the cravings to smoke would eventually fade ,an...

Day 945 - I don’t even think about it. I’m 57 and smoked heavy for 40 years. I used to read others journeys when they were on day 945 and I was on day 8 and think, I can’t wait till I get there. Blink of an eye I’m here to tell all those day 8s to keep going. Minute by minute, day by day, you too will make day 945. My life has changed. I have money, my health and know I’m strong. Cold turkey and ...

106 days now 👍 Used the Zyban, patches and gum. 61 years old and had 40 years of heavy smoking. I've had enough. My health is heaps better. My feet are still numb, pains & pins and needles. Would still love to have a dhurrie, I miss them. I occasionally have an "air drag", works for me. A few peeps here going on about how disgusting they are etc. Get your hand off it, we all loved it and know ...
