Hi Everyone. I wish everyone success with their quits. It can be a rough endeavor as it is without worrying about your weight too. One day at a day, one step at a time. The quit is most important, you can always lose the weight later. Since most of us here are wanting to improve our health, why not use researching as a distraction? A well balanced diet of just eating good food choices wil...

40 days today. After 35 years of smoking whenever I could. Which makes it quite challenging for me to stay quit because I associate just about EVERYTHING with smoking. I'm constantly reminded that in this very situation (choose any random situation :-) ) I would light up a cigarette. I need a lot of energy to refocus on other contents. I don't need a lot of energy for actually "resisting". It's t...

Wow I hit the one week marker. Days 5 and 6 were emotional. As one would expect; the emotional rollercoaster had me frustrated at people, crying over the most trifling things. It’s been a mess. But I’m grateful I got through them. Totally fitting to get into this non-smoker mindset. I keep telling myself “I choose not to smoke”, “I am not a smoker now” and yes it is all fine and I do not ...

I smoked since i was 15, a pack a day. Everybody around me smoked and that's pretty normal since I live in Croatia. I thought I'll never quit, maybe only during pregnancy (I'm 25 now). My boyfriend hated my smoking since he is a non-smoker, and we faught a lot. After getting my Master's degree I moved back to my hometown. Suddenly everybody in my surroundings were non-smokers and I felt really si...

I've tried to quit smoking 3 times already. The first time I didn't smoke for almost 2 months but I put on 6kg and as soon as the stress came back I started smoking again. What is the best way to start? Would you use nicotine patch or gums and which one is best? How did you deal with the hunger and gain weight? How did you deal with the stress?
