Staying quit

I am 16 days into my quit journey and feeling fab! As previously stated I have smoked for 20 years and only quit temporarily for a few months, or during pregnancies. Today I told my “smoking buddies” that I have joined this site and I will not take up smoking again when this baby is born and I found this really helped me cement that this time it is for good! I absolutely love the internal...

I find that for cravings, Listerine Total Care Zero Alcohol and Arm & Hammer Peroxicare toothpaste really lessen them. It is a wonder that these two things work so well in managing something that is outstandingly difficult sometimes; it could be more burdensome. But it is wonderful that it just stops them in their tracks. It seems like a life hack.

I was a smoker for 15 years. I had tried few times to quit smoking but relapsed after 1 week, two weeks to two months or even one time I had quited for 1.5 years but eventually relapsed. I tried to analyse my relaps reasons an find out that each time I quited as the time passed I forgot how hard it was to quit and why I wanted to quit. About two years ago, when I still was a smoker, I listed out ...

Happy Sunday everyone. thank you to to everyone who shares their stories and write comments. I love being able to share and read the stories and comments. For me it is definitely playing a major role in keeping me smoke free. I am on day 33 with a slip on day 19. I am so so grateful that I didn't just quit and give in and take up smoking after my slip. I am so happy to be on day 33 and in the com...

Hey guys. I quit smoking with a stubborn attitude and its been 122 days. I have an app that keeps track of the days. This site has been very helpful with coping and people had been really friendly. That is why I keep on coming back and thanking everyone that helped, commented and encouraged me. I have no cravings whatsoever. From time to time it just pops in my mind that I used to smoke. Smoking ...

So here is my story to date. I began to feel like I was visiting a drug dealer for a fix when buying cigarettes, so after 40 years of smoking a pack a day I decided to set my birthday of 15th February 2020 as quit day which was six weeks ahead. The big idea was to cut down to maybe five cigarettes a day before finally quitting the dreaded weed, but as the days went by one by one I started to dre...

Hello All I am on day 27 with a slip on day 19. I love popping into this each morning it is one of the things that helps me to stay quit. I love reading your stories they help keep me on track. Putting posts up myself also helps me to stay quit. I started smoking around the age of 11 and am now 50 years old. I was a tobacco smoker so in numbers that use to be about 50-75grams tobacco a week for ...

I stopped any form of nicotine - I was smoking and vaping on 29/06/20 using champix. I stopped on my first day of champix and whilst it should be getting easier, I’m finding it is getting tough, I have constipation (gradually getting better), night sweats, insomnia and now I’m getting emotional. Last week I got acupuncture to further help with withdrawals, I’ve still got 5 sessions to go. This Mo...

I am on day four, and I have been incredibly lucky to not have any physical cravings because I am pregnant and it’s a blessing. However, I have noticed the “mental cravings”, the “junkie thinking”, that tells me “it’s so easy, you could definitely have a cigarette tomorrow and then not another”. I am so thrilled this is happening now, because for the first time ever, I am researching about “junki...
