We may at times ask ourselves how to ask the boss for a pay rise. May or may not happen. Would $125 000 you save yourself as a smoker who has quit make a difference? This is a rough estimate of what may be saved in the next 10 years. OK, so that brand new Lamborghini goes up a little... You may also have a few more years of living to enjoy your splurge. As you age it may be a better look than an...

Hi Everyone. We all know what a great decision it was to quit smoking and all the advantages it offers for a longer , healthier life. Many of us have smoked decades and done immense damage in some cases. We are lucky that if we listened to our bodies in time, we can repair a lot of the damage. Our lungs clear out within a few day of stopping and we breath better. Our lungs can even undo most...

Too early for me to give hints

It has been 21 days of being smoke free and it feels so good. In the next two days i'll be visiting friends who are smokers. I'm sure they will understand that I don't smoke anymore. Really hope I do not slip up and fall into those "only one won't harm" traps. I also do not want to be overconfident about having it under control. Yes my mindframe is in the right place and I have willpower but...

A random thought just popped into my head that I reached another milestone in my quit. I realized today that I no longer understand why I used to smoke. However, I do remember the pain of quitting. I wish the same realization to everyone on this forum.

Wow I can't believe that I've really done this and to date ive saved $1711. I still love reading stories on here and it keeps me focused. Thank you all for sharing your stories and for all the support I've received. I don't think I could of done it without the support😊 It is so good to be free!

Hi guys, i am 21 years old and i have been smoking since when i had 14 years, so more or less 7 years. 44 days ago i decided i will quit smoking not because i had health issues but because of course it harms you and to be honest everything on you smells bad. The first days were horrible, i mean i was angry all the time had a headache and everytime i'd see an old person smoke i'd try to convince m...

Now I am in 41 day . I had quited 2.5 years ago and relapsed after 1.5 years. Now I hope this time will be the last for good. I think the main reasons that I relapsed was the fact that after awhile I started to forgot the reasons that made me quit.

40 days today. After 35 years of smoking whenever I could. Which makes it quite challenging for me to stay quit because I associate just about EVERYTHING with smoking. I'm constantly reminded that in this very situation (choose any random situation :-) ) I would light up a cigarette. I need a lot of energy to refocus on other contents. I don't need a lot of energy for actually "resisting". It's t...
