Staying quit

Hi Y'all! I've got 341 days today and I just want to share my experience so far. I still have that pack of smokes in the kitchen drawer. There have been times I have thought about having one but then I play the tape out and I don't want to live my life with nicotine running the show. Being in 12 step recovery for weed I realized that cigarettes were running my life, my entire day was planned ...

26th September 2015......that's 6 yrs and 4 months ago.... I started my journey into a new way of life which didn't included my "false friends"..... After all this time I still get a urge for a "false friend", but I know I can continue on my journey without them in my life.... It's not an easy road to quitting but it is do-able when you learn to let go and believe in yourself... The benefits o...

Hi gang, Im over the moon with pride, money, self-confidence and never ever worrying of when I can get to the shop to buy smokes anymore! It is truly liberating after being hooked on those STUPID thing;;s for too many years. Its almost 2 years since I lit one! At $27.50 every day, give or take $10 from where i bought them from or whom i smoked that stuff with? I have surpassed the $19,000.00...

Stay strong we can all do this

I'm 49 years old and been smoking since I was about 18. I've tried quitting before, several times with patches, gum, champix. I would always fall in to to two traps. 1. I've had such a hard day, I'm stressed. I need my smokes. 2. I can have just one, I'll be fine with just one. I called these traps for a reason. Both have stopped my quitting path in the past. This time, I decided to use patches...

Hello fellow quitters, I meant to come back before Christmas to say hello, but anyway here I am wishing you all a safe and happy New Year. I am happy to say I am still quit free after 3years, thanks Shamrock we were going through this at the same time, and I am glad you are still on the quit road. Most definitely my best tip was and still is saying NOPE (not one puff ever) either mentally or i...

I felt I had to post today because today I had a super strong craving, wanting to go get some smokes and smoke the whole packet. I feel if I can’t be honest about smoking here it’s not going to help me or others. Anyway, certain things trigger me and awareness about these helps a lot. Also I’m going to write down on a card why I decided to stop and study it when I crave. It might take me a good...

My cravings have now gone away at least for the past few days and today. Really there’s no need to whinge at all, it is a real blessing to be able to never smoke again. I’m going into the new year free as a bird. No more coughing and not being able to walk up hills, no more offensive stench of cigarettes, no more of it costing me the price of a house ( in the end). It’s all so worthwhile to qu...
