Staying quit

Hi all. A story on here reminded me of why I wanted to quit, that was for my heart health but am many other reasons have come up. I suffered heart failure in 2018 but still I continued to smoke, even lying to doctors at the time. Nothing would stop me, such is the nicodemon. It’s heavy. Anyway it took until 7.3 weeks ago to finally get my headspace in the right place. I’m now just over 7 weeks qu...

Well its been 10 years on the 9th of november and i never went back on the smokes. I think im more healthier than i was ten years ago. I did have a heart attack so that was the decider. I must say though going cold turkey was tough. Anyway thats it i might come back and tell you when its been 20 years. So for those of you that want to give it up just stop it is hard but you will save a lot of mon...

I’m almost 7 weeks quit and I’m feeling much better, especially those first few weeks which were really hard. I’m starting a diet now to lose weight and get fit again as well. My smokers cough is nearly gone. Ive got a bad back so now I can afford to get that fixed up, ive had it for o year. I now feel it’s one of the best decisions ever.

Just checking in as it’s important to keep doing so. Socialising at night with alcohol is really easy now to the point where I forget about smoking. The biggest help for me has just been time. At the start I would talk about it all the time and I think for me that was really important. The brain is a wonderful thing . Take care everyone and believe on yourselves x

Hint:- change how your day starts. Still do your normal daily activities, just shake your day up. Don’t arise, make a coffee, check social media, then jump in the shower and let the day happen. Arise, shower, make a coffee, check your social media if it is that important to you (sorry really) then go to work or hop on your computer if you are working from home and check what your employer wants ...

Keep saving money which keeps me focused on health too!

I've had countless quit attempts over the years, but this time was very different. I've been quit now for four years and two days. After losing my Mum ten years ago I thought I'd never quit. She was always my reason for wanting to quit in the past and my cheerleader too. But four years ago I was so sick of being hungry and longed to quit for my own reasons. So one morning I went and bought so...

I QUIT SMOKING COLD TURKEY AFTER SMOKING FOR 40 YEARS, NEVER HAD SLIP, DID HAVE A LOT OF CRAVINGS IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN THIS HAPPENED USE TO GO OUT FOR A DRIVE, WAS SO DETERMINED TO QUIT, IT DID IMPROVE IN TIME AND NOW NO CRAVINGS AT ALL, THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE ONLY TROUBLE PUT ON LOTS OF WEIGHT AND NOW PUTTING MYSELF ON LOW CALORIE DIET TO LOSE IT, I DO FEEL SO MUCH BETTER FOR QUITTING

Been 10 months no more smokes it definitely a mind game but once you overcome the mind games it's quite easy to say stop I want to quit..

Almost one month done with one slip done also of one cigarette. I have learnt so much. I am still having cravings and sometimes they’re strong at other times weaker. But I am not having as many cravings as I was even a week ago. They are definitely still on the radar though. I am doing this cold turkey and that is my choice. I’m finding it all a little bit easier every day but some days are still...
