I however, will need to continue regulating my stress management. I took up hiking every week. I stay off social media and check in once a week. Although I was a social drinker, I quit drinking too because it made me look tired and old (not ...

Hi Guys, Hope you all are doing well in your smoke free journey. Just received some major family sibling drama news and I feel like smoking right now. I bought a packet and a lighter. They are in my bag as I type this. I feel so low. I have been dealing with with issues, work stress, and now sibling drama. I don't know why I'm typing all this. I know better but I feel so hopeless. I must ...

Will you look at that, 444 days since I became a non-smoker. It has been going really well for me. Until recently. I have been slacking off on exercising. I have gained weight. I haven’t been on the best of terms with my parents and I have been feeling like crap. I have been drinking too. Not a lot though. Right now, I do not feel in control of my emotions. The past few days have not been ...

Hi All, its been 60 Days since I became a non-smoker. I am proud of myself. Come to think of it, I did not notice that the days have gone by so fast. I have been doing cardio, walking and running.

It has been 21 days of being smoke free and it feels so good. In the next two days i'll be visiting friends who are smokers. I'm sure they will understand that I don't smoke anymore. Really hope I do not slip up and fall into those "only one won't harm" traps. I also do not want to be overconfident about having it under control. Yes my mindframe is in the right place and I have willpower but...

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 hate myself for slipping up majorly. Had two deaths in the family and fell into minor depression and major anxiety. What is wrong with me. I knew there was no such thing as having only “one smoke”. That escalated quickly into 7-10 cigarettes a day. The self-hate is killing me. Man I feel like crap. This is my third attempt of quitting. I cry, and I hate it but I still reach for that sickening...
