Strange isn't it, I was at 980 days of living without Mr Nico teen not thinking of a smoke anymore and here we go: A great holiday in summer europe with old chain smoking friends, cheap cigarettes and i started again. Got through two 2 packets in 2 weeks and now without smoking again for 4 days. So stupid I was- all the addiction connection restarted their activity- every person I passed smel...

Its now 480 days since I smoked my last cigarette and said good by to Mr. Nic o teen... What a journey. My little boy just turned 6 month and I started working again. Rarely get the urge to smoke, not even after an extremely stressful nightshift, although I think of smoking it sometimes, but more as a fleeing thought... it just passes... When I was smoking, I was not sure if there was a me with...

1 year ago, I went to this homepage and joined the Ex-smoker community. 1 year ago my journey started with horrible cravings and desperate feelings that it never gets better. 1 year ago I started running away my urges out of desparation that I might smoke... During my journey of not smoking, I got fitter (due to the running) and I got pregnant and now have a healthy boy wiggeling around the hous...

10 month ago, I had my last visit from Mr. Nic o Teen. He has been missed badly, especially the first few monthes. But the longer it is, since I have seen him, the less I miss him. Shortly after I have stopped smoking, I got pregnant. And now the miracle baby- one who decided to exist against many odds- is alive, healthy and happy bubbling beside my side.. I am so happy and would like to share ...

So now finally, I am 6 month away from all these bad addictive things called cigarettes.. Been exposed to quite a lot of passive smoking in the last few month, as many of my european friends smoke, but well. Honestly said, yes, there are still some few moments, where I would like to have a puff- and I assume these moments will never stop- but there are so many more moments where I feel less st...

Its now 150 days into quitting, and actually time to share with you the miracle of quitting. Just 1 month as an ex-smoker I got pregnant! Not being the youngest person in the world, I am now expecting a baby! I think stopping smoking is the best thing I could have done for my health, and it made me obviously more fertile... So besides of all the health reasons, here is another amazing, happy reas...

So well, its been a while I posted. I just realised that I am at 125 days with no cigarette after cold turkey.. and well, I am facing my demons, right now.. I went back to a country where I used to life.. and where smoking is much more socially accepted. All my friends here are smoking.. Its already shocking to realise that I did not have non smoker friends... besides it exposes me on a weekly...

3 month ago, I had my last cigarette. It feels years away! Live is just so amazing without the smoke. First of all I saved over a 1500 AUS! Also, I am still going strong with going jogging and climbing.. Whereas before, I was lazy now I can't wait to get out and be in nature... It s just such an amazing chance of life.. My partner asked me recently if I am still thinking of having a smoke.. W...

It's been 2 month since I stopped smoking.. It was a hard time but actually such an amazing experience. I feel that I am much stronger now, that I can cope with problems. Feel that I have again control over my life. For the people who are still considering to stop... -as it might have been slightly different as others....what helped the most was jogging... I basically just run out the very bad ...

My hit list of why I think quitting was the best I could do: Not feeling ashamed anymore of - having smelly clothes and changing them more often than needed - having smelly hair and washing them daily - in the morning when my flatmates are entering the kitchen which has a slight smoking smell after me having had aa morning smoke out of the window. - cleaning all the hundreds buts from the ...
