Success stories

I didn't intend to post again until I hit the 2 week mark but I feel like a couple of you have truly taken me under your wing and I'm so grateful for that and wanted you to know that I'm still succeeding thanks to your help. So here it is... Today I did my groceries it's the first time I've been to a retailer that sells cigarettes since I quit. I paid for my groceries and the lady behind the smo...

Well my friends and fellow quitters. Today I hit the milestone of being quit for one year. Needless to say I am overjoyed that I have made it. When i first quit and joined this forum, I have to say that I was so envious of those members who were in their months, year or years quit. Today I can say that I have battled the war and come out the other end. I made myself hate the disgusting things a f...

Day 205 and still smoke free. Still occasionally think I would like a cigarette when with smokers but quickly tell myself I'm a non smoker. Relatively easy to resist temptation now and I also dislike the smell of cigarette smoke. For those just starting the quit journey or those who have made it further, it does get easier and is worth the effort.

It will be 4 years smoke free for me on the 2nd June this year. I have saved $13,192.00. I've spent it all of course :) It was the first time I had ever tried to quit and I was determined to be free. I used Champix and stayed on it as long as I could so that i had every chance of succeeding. I tolerated it really well with no adverse effects and 4 years later I'm still smoke free! I feel really g...

Hi all Just checking in to report I'm still on track and continue to be amazed that I am actually here today 1000 days quit. I was seriously a tragic smoker and failed my quit attempts many times and often thought it was sad impossible. It just goes to show that if you don't give on giving up this insidious habit, you will be free of the shackles one day. I can even have a boozy night around smo...

Dear Friends I am so happy to share that it's been 7Months since I had my last cigarette. I am travelling and in the same hotel where I traveled 7 Month ago after quit and was struggling like a addict to smoke. This time I have no such cravings.

Yesterday night, I had the most vivid dream that I am smoking. And even in my dream I knew I would have to reset my quit clock. Got up startled in the middle of the night and the rest of the night I spent tossing and turning unsure if I had really smoked or it was just a dream. I am 8 months quit and it was humbling to know how much the habit messes with you.

Stay appreciative of the effort Made to quite......I feel so much better about myself as a non-smoker. No more shame, inconvenience, cough, horrible smell, expense, anxiety about when I’ll be able to have the next cigarette, freedom from the slavery. I have thought, many many times, about how I’d like to have a cigarette, but then I say to myself -“no, you really don’t want to do that,because it...

Dear fellows, I have been away from smoke for more than 6 month now. Now if you ask me about my journey, it was roller coaster for first month but then it gradually started getting normal with intermittent cravings . Let me be very honest today to admit that there are situation or times of my day (some days only) when I really feel to smoke a cigarette or two and feel good BUT I also know...

Just passed a two Year anniversary mark. An interesting part to my quitting process is that I had a time bending experience. What I mean is that there is always before and after smoking, but more importantly in the beginning of my quit the time started moving at a different pace. I found out that without smoking my days became longer because time had slowed down. There were no more smoke breaks. ...
