Staying quit

I smoked a pack a day, easily, for about 20 years. I enjoyed smoking, never thought I could quit. I'm 2 months smoke free, just finished my 3 months of Champix a week ago. I was so skeptical when I first heard about it, but I'm so glad I tried it. I've never gone this long without a cigarette before, and I feel hope now! lol. I did have weird, vivid dreams, some drowsiness with my morning do...

Another milestone, 900 days. Considering how much my life was ruled by cigs with every aspect of my daily routine scheduled around smoke time while erroneously believing that I couldn’t live without smoking I still take my quit very seriously. One puff and i’ll be right where I was 900 days ago - addicted. Been there and never want to go back. It’s not easy but most definitely can be done with t...

I have reached the 1-month milestone, I quit because I was coming up to an operation which is on Monday 9th September. I can't believe that I haven't smoked for 1 month the patches have really helped me. I only hope that I can stay quit after I have the operation I think that will be the hardest part for me. I can breathe easier and I passed the breathing test with flying colors in the pre-op. I ...

Well hello all, <br /> In short, I am 12 months off cigarettes and 6 months of all nicotine. My wife is now 8 months of smokes and all nicotine. It&rsquo;s funny about what attracts you to someone . for us pre-kids it was smoking. So, few of "us" left . and sadly for many many years that was our thing. So when ever one of us tried to give up the other was always there to entice the other back. ...

I still get thoughts of smoking. I have been quit for 21 weeks. I wake in the middle of the night still. For the first two months I was sleep deprived. I was determined not to pick up though. Every day I would get up from a broken nights sleep and pray. "Thank you God for giving enough sleep for this day." That's all I had. Just enough sleep for one day, with no reserve. "Please God give me more ...

Still staying smoke free and vigilant. No more cravings to speak of. Actually, sometimes I wander why I was addicted to cigarettes begin with and that’s a dangerous territory for me. Thus, I have to practice NOPE mantra - not one puff ever. To those who are just starting out and still fighting your nicodemons believe in your inner strength because this is one fight is worth winning.

227 days now and could still easily light up again. This is annoying, the cravings have eased off but the nasty voice telling my that one won’t hurt OR you really need a smoke is still present. So glad I’m so stubborn and refuse the waste all this hard work.

Hi all Just a quick note to say that I'm 78 days being a non smoker and finding it easier every day it's the best decision ever

Today marks 1 week smoke free. Day 2 was almost unbearable and day 5 wasn't much better. I don't seem to struggle through the day much but come afternoon when I'm doing homework/dinner time rush and all my mum stuff I find it really hard. I miss having an excuse and a reminder to take 5 mins to myself to stop my temper from exploding. I get frustrated with a lack of coping mechanisms for those ...
