Stories and experiences by: Nic succeed

Hiya All, Day 7 for me today. Hoping this time will be the one, I feel more focused on quitting after many attempts I realise that I have just been cruising before day by day thinking I was doing great, however this time I am much more aware of the task at hand, when I get a craving or think about smoking I am actually acknowledging it and working through it rather than just keeping busy and tryi...

Well here I am AGAIN, Day 1. No excuses, no explanation just another attempt. I checked all my previous stories and this time last year was on attempt number 3. I don't even know how many I have actually been through, I do know that I can succeed. I have a few new tools for this my last attempt, thanks to a book on quitting. - I will not have one single puff - quitting is my number 1 priority...

I have been smoke free for 17 days now, I have saved over $200 dollars, avoided 2142 mg of tar, my mouth is fresher, my taste buds better, I don't smell, my chest is less tight, my children are happy but my hubby is still smoking. Yuk!!

Well today I have hit the two week mark. It hasn't been easy but I have just taken it one day at a time. I have found drinking water really helpful and this has helped in replacing the smokes for food. i am so sick of even thinking about smoking, I've been here too many times. I have to keep reminding myself that just one will mean I have to start AGAIN. that's just not gonna happen, I will stay...

Hi All, just wanted to check in and THANKYOU all for your stories and continued support. In the past year I have probably given up 4-5 times with my recent attempt hitting the 60 day mark. Although I know what to expect and am prepared for the battle I still have to fight hard to beat the nicotine demons. How can something so discusting be so controlling. Anyhow I am getting through, one day at ...

Hello to all and especially to those who know me and my journey. After making ANOTHER 60 days I failed. There are no excuses just another failed attempt. Xmas was too much of a challenge and it beat me. AAAARRRGGGHHH. I am not going to stop tryin to quit and hope this is my time, it is hard to be honest here because I feel I have let you all down after you have given me so much support, I'm so...

Hi all, haven't been checking in much lately sorry have been busy and doing so well on my journey. Today is day 38 and I an feeling great and managing well, although the cravings still jump out every now and then I am able to ward them off and stay strong and positive. I am soo looking forward to a smoke free christmas, turning 40 next year as a non-smoker and enjoying a new life that is happier ...

Hi All, well I'm off today for round two of my horrible, painful periodontic clean. Although still anxious it is a bit easier this time. The benefits from both the treatment and no smoking have been huge. I have had comments of my teeth looking clean and myself have felt a much better clean, fresh mouth. For those who are now non-smokers I truly recommend using your saved money to go and treat yo...

Just thought I would ask everyone out there how they are going, post your progress and any ups and/or downs you would like to share!

After today I have been 3 weeks smoke free. Wow do I feel good. At times it has been tough but I have made it this far and there's no turning back. I have come down a level in the patch with no problems. I will however take it easy and not make the mistake of moving too quickly. Well done me, well done to all my fellow non-smokers!!!
