I have one more month to go before it's an entire year of not smoking. I hardly remember about smoking now. Life has completely changed. I can sleep better, I enjoy my early morning walks, I am better at my work as I don't have to take constant breaks., I am not embarrassed anymore to go too close to anyone thinking I will smell smoke. Truly life is much better without smoking cigarettes. I am t...

It's six months since my last smoke. The time spent on smoking has been spent on family, friends, reading, exercising, and watching good movies. Never been more happier. Thank you to all in the community which has been my support during this journey.

I go for long walks, do meditation by the beautiful lake near my house, spend 8 hrs at work without going out of office every hour for a smoke break, spend my evenings playing sports and indoor games, have healthy food...

It's my day 75 and I had never imagined that I would reach this day smoke-free in my life. I had been smoking for about 16 years before I quit. This has bought in a sense of achievement in me. I feel so good about myself. I would see my friends and cousins who never picked smoking and curse myself for having picked this habit. I must say that my mental abilities are much better now. I sometimes p...
