Today I have reached 100 days, this is such a big milestone for me. It has not been easy, especially living with smokers, and my best friends are all still smoking. i still feel like having a smoke at times. Just shows how strong the addiction is. I still take each hour/day one at a time. I am in some ways really surprised as I didn't actually think I could do it, but here is the proof. I c...

Yes yes yes go me - for those of you who have been with me from the start, thank you thank you so very much for your support and posts which I have used as my distractions. A good hint for when the cravings strike, get on and read and answer posts. To those that have started after me, yes it can be done. I still get cravings and last night had a very vivid dream in which our local kindergarten...

Hi all feeling a little bit smug for making 62, yep I said 62 days how amazing is that, but even better I attended a wedding on the week-end really full on few days from Fri to Sun heaps of drinking, eating and partying, with quite a few smokers present - one in particular thought he was very funny by trying to grab me and drag me outside to join him and I resisted !!!!!!!!!! YAY ME can't believe...

Wow 50 days - feels like a major milestone!!!!! Feels much longer than 7 weeks lol guess its just a matter of perception - still have some days where I really struggle, but reading other peoples posts makes me realise this is quite normal. Stay strong everyone, one hour/day at a time hope you all have a great day.

46 days and today had so many times when I just really wanted a smoke, no idea why, seems like all I have done is eat and chew to try and relieve the craving, but nothing has helped, I just really wanted a smoke. Have not given in, going to go to bed early and hope I have a better day tomorrow with the cravings abating

Well I have made 6 weeks and couldn't have done it without my quit buddies and this site. Due to where we live our Internet is very unreliable, however I do try and get on everyday, and I think I make it quite frequently although not daily, also when I do get on often it won't accept my post, but believe me I am here for each and everyone of you and I am sending you positive vibes and hugs even...

Wow, never thought I would/could make this, family and friends still smoke around me, but I just work on every ciggie not smoked, and hour by hour, day by day and come here to visit my wonderful support group, my own quit buddies. Every day I feel more positive and haven't cried for ages, since I stopped the Zyban tablets. I blame them for making feel so teary and dreadful, I still keep my vapou...

Hi all I haven't been able to post for a while weather has been playing havoc with Internet. But wow everyone is doing so well - 30 days for me and believe it or not I haven't cried for a few days lol. Reading your posts really helps and although, like others I have had the thought that it would be much easier to just give in. I am staying strong and chewing, pacing, or doing what ever it take...

Ok Day 23 - some days easier than others, posts on here really keep me focused, so thank you all and please keep posting, can't do it with out you. Still quite teary at times but I do think there are times it is getting easier, not having cravings so often, but boy cravings when they hit are much stronger, or certainly feel it. Met up with some friends that I haven't seen for ages yesterday and ...

Hi all just thought I would share- I've had a much better day today, no tears, no vapouring although keeping it on charge - mind over matter I think. Oh and haven't felt like a smoke - think I might have turned a corner - well I hope so. its 15 days today and today is almost over so a very positive day. I hope all my fellow quitters have a really positive day also. Never thought I would be pro...
