Staying quit

Hello everyone here in this group I quit smoking 6 months ago and I still feel very difficult in breathing and feel dizziness and light, running nose and blocks all the time , with chest pains and mood changes. Left side chest pain and rib been to cardiology but he says everything fine. Do anyone feel the same.

Just remember that you are stronger than the nicotine drug.. It will get easier and so many on this wonderful forum can attest to that! The strength comes from within, we often don't give ourselves the credit we so rightly deserve. Stay strong, the withdrawals will pass, and the smoking addiction will soon be a distant memory. Hello to all my long term forum buddies and welcome to all the n...

Hi all, Just thought I'd stop by and see how everyone is going with their quit battles! I'm nine weeks and one day free today. I'm feeling great and am only getting the odd craving here and there. Hope you all are keeping well! Dave

Hi all, well, I am starting to get quietly thrilled to be not being addicted to smoking. This is about my 10th attempt over 35 years nd this time is different, I have zero desire to smoke, my previous attempts involved pretty much having the odd cigarette here and there and pretending I was not slipping up. This time, I have changed up my daily routine to include taking more time to prepare mysel...

Today marks 1186 days & approximately 22,000 less cigarettes smoked. I can't believe just how fast this time has gone. I started my journey not knowing if I would succeed & I'm proud to say that I did! It has gotten easier & easier & I know I will never, ever go back. Sure there are still days & I've heard it will last a lifetime, that I could certainly go for one but that feeling is just a...

So nice.So, I am now 8 days with no puffs, this time is different.Not sure if it's because I am now middle aged,or if I am simply ready,but my mind seems to be in tune with my resolution. Mind you,I am practising on my mat like a demon! Another thing,I have been practiing yoga for 7 years a...

Looking at things in a new way can shed light on things we may have missed. There are times when you might think that you will never reach the goal but if you persist you will. When we see gradual change, it is not like when someone sees us and says "Wow, you lost a lot of weight!" We don't notice the little things, but they are there and they do build up. When we accept the journey and have fa...

Thank you for the support on this forum. Just a quick update on my circumstances. No I did not smoke or have a drink despite great urges to do so. Am proud of that. Instead I vented on this forum and the responses were so supportive. I read them a few times over. Thank you. I also rang a friend. In short I’ve ended up with two job offers both are quite exciting and fulfilling work. Life will...

Today is day 15 without a cigarette for me. What a ride so far!! A gal asked me for a smoke this morning, I don't smoke I replied, the buzz from that was better than any cigs ever gave me!!
