So I managed to encourage my daughter to quit smoking. Day 6 today for her cold turkey, she had a cold and was left with a cough she was struggling to shake, so I convinced her to quit. She struggled last night and said she found yesterday so hard, she wanted to drive to get a packet, I talked her out of it despite my husbsnd offering her 1 of his🙄 I told her its only a craving and convinced her...

Day 51 and im estatic about that. I'm not estatic about wk 11 in Lockdown with no end in sight yet....... sigh. I miss the gym, a huge part of my dopamine fix. Its the times at the moment and I know lockdown will not last forever but the chhosing to become a nonsmoker will last, as I cherish that so much. I know I shld be doing workouts at home, but its not the same feels or fun as with g...

Hi Quitfam, just sharing that i am missing those lozenges, its not easy. I can't wait until I surpass this hurdle, as its a bit of a discomfort a few times a day. Day 40 today, and Im keeping on NOPE

Hi Quitfam, day 38 today for me since becoming a non smoker, I was using lozenges, until yesterday morning when I consumed my last one. Ive been a little fearful and anxious for the moment of letting go of the aid, and almost told myself I needed one more lot. Then I decided no I didnt and told myself its a vital part of my progress to let go of the aid and told myself to just rip the bandaid...

Hi quitfam, I cannot believe I am writing this........ My 15yr old son thought it would be a fun idea to take my car for a joyride last night and smashed my car into another parked car around the block. I had no idea that this had occurred until I found myself on my front porch with 2 police officers at 11pm at night. Firstly he is unharmed, thank goodness, my car is a write off and as for the ...

Hey Quitfam just dropping in to share a quick update. Going strong, I feel proud and peaceful for this jouney. Headaches have passed now, but unfortunately the insomnia and sometimes bizarre dreams havent yet. I am aware that its probably my brain on hyper alert as my body adjusts to the changes. I'm also aware that this phase will pass too. Today Ive cut down from 4mg lozenges to 2mg. Hope every...

Hi all, after getting the biggest buzz from reading Percys fantastic share and the lovely comments by the fellow supporters, just thought id post to say im on track day 18 today. I know im still in quit kindy, early days, I still get headaches and suffering a bit of broken sleep. My cough has disappeared, so that gives me a spring to my step. I feel fortunate that the mere whiff of ciggarette smo...

I'm back again peeps, day 12 today, so far im finding it pretty easy. I don't want to jinx myself, I think i've just reached a point where I'm fed up with the taste, the wasted time, the cost and stench. Therefore I'm not feeling one bit deprived. What's there to miss, nothing!!!😊👍

Hi all, ive been cruising along enjoying my smoke free life and barely thinking about it. Last night i went out to club with hubby drinking and dancing with band and he slipped up. I felt a twinge for about 3 seconds flat and said to myself no way girl, just breathe and side step this. I thought about if i did what it would taste like and i knew yucky yuck and NOPE💪💪💪 Held strong and true and ...
