It’s just not worth it! On Friday morning 7/6, I woke up with severe pains to the right side of my chest and back it’s all a very long story but I’m actually being treated in a clinic with depression, the result of my wife trying to commit suicide 7 weeks ago! I couldn’t get the vision out of my head so I went to the bottle in an attempt to block it out. After 4 weeks my situation declined imme...

Hi everyone. I want to apologize to all of you. I haven't been able to be on here lately to lend support. Trying to get ready to move has kept me busy. Tomorrow (6/10) is the 6 month anniversary of the day I had my last cigarette. I couldn't have done it without all of you . You're an amazing group of people. I have had some ups and downs the last half year, but I haven't smoked and for that I a...

I stop smoking every year for as long as i can remember, the problem is every time i have a drink, which is not that often, they go hand in hand. There usually is a trigger of some kind and the fact that my wife is a heavy smoker makes it a little harder....

Stay strong and fight the fight. We the addicted smokers can and will always beat the addiction, we just need to maintain focus and ignore the side effects which are always very short lived in the scheme of things. On the 22nd June I will have met my biggest milestone yet and that is my one year anniversary of being quit (cold turkey). I want to offer each and everyone on this wonderful communit...

Well it’s been 9 days I have been smoke free. I have been using nicotine gum. I’ve tried giving up in the past. This time I feel so determined I’ve listened to Allen Carr’s book and hypnotherapy audio. I feel so determined strong and not only my health but the $450 I’ll save a month is such a huge incentive as I’m a single mum and need this money for more important things My partner smo...

I have to share this with you, I have smoked 20 a day for 5 years+ now, probably longer but we all like to pretend we haven't been long term smokers. I haven't bought a pack in 7 days and I have no desire to either, here is how I did it. Half the battle is getting past your cigarettes running out which creates panic in your routine so you smoke again. You know the drill, leave one in a pack...

I had a honeymoon for six weeks. I said to myself "I don't smoke". I found things to do which were not challenging. I coloured in for a couple of weeks. When I thought of a cigarette, I drew on my previous experience from last year and did something else. Then I took on some housework. I found I could only do five minutes of work at a time without getting stressed. So, I did lots of five minute i...

789. I am not into numerology but I do like the way the numbers lined up 7-8-9 smoke free days.

<p style="text-align: left;">Quitting cigarettes was a JOURNEY! &nbsp; <p style="text-align: left;">It was one that I did not plan for, nor wanted. I LOV<strong>ED</strong> smoking.&nbsp; As I'm sure all of us have/did/do. <p style="text-align: left;">Newport 100's was my choice. Before i get to HOW/WHY/WHEN i quit i want to talk about how it all began. <p style="text-align: left;">I never wan...

Hi, It's been 4 wks now since I quit smoking. I was diagnosed with emphysema and I actually kept smoking and tried stopping but then took it up again. It was quite a trial. Eventually I got it but boy do I do my affirmations. Someone once told me never to give up. Now I'm looking for work and have joined a singing group and I feel great. I found that it was hard but eventually I got it. Hope y...
