Staying quit

Managed to stay quit for one month now, stepped down from 21mg patch to 14 mg patch, staying strong. Going in for an operation (hip replacement) next Thursday, I will be five weeks clean by then. Then I have to stay quit to help manage my recovery.

Hi Y'All! Day 18 today. I start out every morning by reading day 18 quit experiences on this site and the iquit-smoking site. So the restlessness has been replaced with an ennui and I sometimes feel a slight headache/fogginess. I know this too shall pass. Overall I feel great. I know this is the most important thing I am doing for myself EVER!! Keep going everyone, don't stop quitting. I ...

I am having difficulty with the N.R.T. It is addictive. I am concerned that if I don't have it, I will crave cigarettes. I therefore am trying to wean myself from lozenges. I haven't had a cigarette since the 09/04/2019. I am proud to have some time up. Somehow, iDon't feel as if it's over. Maybe I need to rethink it.

309 smoke free days. I can't believe I'm a non-smoker. For the most part these days I don't even think about it. I'm free. A few months ago I was tempted but it burned my chest so I'm not doing that again. I'm so happy.

Hi all again, thought I drop in to say hello. I am still going strong and my withdraws symptoms are almost gone. The weather has been very miserable, raining most of the time. It's given me the opportunity to walk my dogs more than usual. The dreaming is not as frequent as they were before. I feel much better overall and today when I went shopping. The store manager which I talk to sometimes came...

Stopping smoking really is mostly psychological. You must have the mental mindset that you don't want to smoke anymore. The physical part is over in about 4 days. I was very unwell back in March 2020 which coincided with the covid-19 pandemic. I was actually frightened that I had contracted corona virus with my temperatures reaching 39.6. I was tested and negative for covid-19. I visited my GP ...

A respected friend came up to me while playing pool and said"Hi...I see your still smoking...you know, Ive been hearing some really cool stories and great things about smoking lately, and even thinking about buying a pack and start smoking too. I immediately knew I was done smoking. After 30 years smoking every day. Just done. Over it. I keep replaying the dumb look on his face and his voice when...

And so far so good the weird dreams have gone, i still get occasional headaches, but what i do notice is the fact im not as stressed and depressed as when i did smoke. i did go through a week of feeling like i lost a friend but that's all due to quitting and i found out its normal. After reading ot...

In the past the cost of cigarettes was never a motivating factor for me to give it up. I would find the money and just go without other things. However it was annoying at times that I didn't have a certain something and just had to improvise. I calculated today. I would have purchased 14 packets of cigarettes by now at an average cost of $40 per packet. Wow that's $560 i have saved. That's a ...
