Stories and experiences by: Trianne

I really wanted to to do it today but decided tomorrow is a better day. I have six work shifts in a row, so I have less time to deal with. Before work, two 15 minute breaks, an hour lunch break and then after work. Today I had the day off so wasn't easy. I have an hour in the morning while I get I get ready for work. For my tea breaks I have packed healthy snacks. Not looking forward to my hour l...

I've just been reading an interereting article about blood sugar and how it is affected by nicotine. It is common that blood sugar plummets when you first quit. This can show in symptoms like headache, inability to concentrate, dizziness and cravings for something sweet. The stimulant effect of nicotine affects blood sugar levels. This is why smokings acts as an appetite suppressant. While nicoti...

I am sick of changing my quit date on this site. Tomorrow I will try again! I have prepred myself as much as I can. I have read lots of stories on this website and been inspired by many of you. I'm trying to tell myself it's easier than I think- be positive. I am so sick of spending so much money on cigarettes.

I am reading so many people have had success with Ch...

I will re-read my diary that I kept last time I quit as it says how good I felt about quitting. I am really sick of smoking and spending all this money on something I don't ...

I start tomorrow. Can't say I'm looking forward to it as I know it won't be easy. I will be exercising more too as I have lost a lot of weight in the past few months and I don't want to put it back on so will walk my dogs every day. I think my breaks at work will be hard. My job involves standing so it's nice to go outside and sit down with a cigarette. I don't want to spend my breaks inside in t...

I have been smoking for the last six years. I previosly quit smoking 25 years ago and silly me took it up again when I met my partner who smoked. We have both tried to quit so many times. This time I want to be successful. As, luckily, I don't seem to suffer from any health problems- yet; my main reason is to quit smoking is to save money. I hate knowing that in the last six years it has cost my ...
