Success stories

1351 days and counting the Dollars and no doubt extra days on the planet. I have enjoyed tossing some of the $30000 saved into my mortgages and some on trips, shoes, clothes and expensive bling. Besides, anything I spend is pretty much what would have been in an ash tray. I call it Ash Money. Much less stress when there is money in the bank. I wonder how many on this site feel stress pangs becaus...

I don’t do the math much anymore these days. My phone app stopped working and only my brainiac numbers friend keeps sa running tally in his head. I’d say I think about a cigarette once a month, if that. I’m sure by now, there has been at least a full month or two that has passsed when I didn’t think about smoking at all. I’m still struggling with Lupus and so I still spend a substantial amo...

Hi everyone Well I checked my Quit Buddy phone app today and it reports that I have been smoke free now for 911 days and I have saved $31,421 dollars (in the cost of cigarettes back at the time I quit) so by now would be quite a bit more than what the app reports. I highly recommend the Quit Buddy app along with this great website in tandem, both of which were key to my successful quit once and ...

Hi all, I am 7 months quit on Saturday yeeha!! My husband has quietly joined me in my quit journey, he doesn't talk about it much, but he announced this morning he has made 1 week quit today. He cut down for a week or two and then he went cold turkey. He's been a bit feisty on a few occasions but considering he's going cold turkey I have to be honest I was more moody than him in my beginning with...

Unbelievable 1016 days without a cigarette i remember when i first joined this group i thought i would never make it. The idea that i could get thought a full 24 hour period without a cigarette was such a foreign concept and I honestly never thought i could do it. However, the support I received from everyone on here was amazing, and without this service i am not sure i would be where I am no...

Hi All Yay 6 months today....but I don’t have time to lay about feeling great about myself. Reese and Leanne are close behind me and breathing down my neck...lol. But I am proud of how well we have all done so far....next big celebration will be 12 months quit. Can’t wait for that one. Thanks everyone who kept me on my game, especially Red67 who’s advice and common sense approach to quitting was...

209 days smoke-free! Still get the odd craving, for lack of another term; more just a feeling I should be doing something, and then realise it's smoking. Occasionally think that I would like to sit down with a cuppa and a cigarette, but realise I can sit down with a cuppa anyway. Now to turn to losing the weight I've put on :(. But honestly, feeling so much better, breathing well, skin is clearer...

What a relief to be counting the days quit. Today the ducks line up as I have reached day 1234. Guess I just liked the number. Hope the quitters on this site are enjoying the growing number of quit days they have reached. Remember, whatever you number, we all start at day 1. Day 1 is 1234 times harder than day 1234. Those early days can be seemingly impossible but not quitting is becoming less of...

I can't believe after 35 years of smoking that at noon today I am 1 year smoke free. Ironically, I did not plan to quit. On Oct 14th last year I got the mail and we had received a HUGE premium increase on our health insurance because my husband and I were smokers. I said "I am not paying that, I quit". And I did. I never smoked another cigarette, I didn't smoke a "good bye" cig, I didn't make a b...
