Day 17. The monster is still slain. I feel so much better. My skin looks so much better. I smell so much better. My sense of smell is so much better. And I am $300 so much better off. I am pleased to be a non smoker.

It's funny that my reminder email from you guys can just as I'm smoking my possibly last ciggy (I hope). I dropped my pack this morning in the rain so have 3 wet ones I will save for moments of terrible stress. I also may have done a bad job in cutting down and still had smoked 25 yesterday!!!

Sorry to say that my anxiety got the best of me, and I lost my quit

I have phantom tingling along both my arms. When I rub them with my palm, my palm feels cold up against my tingling arms. I am thinking that my arms shouldn’t be tingling anymore since I’m on day 12. My nerve endings should be ok by now.... I realize this is phantom symptoms. I had these during my previous quota as well.

I quit on Jan 5 at 9am. It helped to quit in the morning because every morning I was on my next quit day. I had my first cigarette at the age of 18 or 19.

Between the ages of 23 to 44, my current age, i smoked off and on and had bouts of long quits that last two years here and there. This last stint of smoking lasted 2...

I was a heavy smoker for a looong time 2 packs a day I've tried for a few times to quit, but unsuccessfully, and I realized my approach was wrong.

My wife understood me ...

I am happy to say I am a non-smoker. Saying this aloud to my loved ones helped me accept this. My eight month mark seemed to be the most difficult for me. I have pulled through that difficult time and now I feel a lot better. I have persevered. I don't smoke. I am content. Unfortunately all of my money is going on doctors. I am being treated privately for my mental health. I am stable and fairly ...
