Wow! Haven't been on here for a long time, just got curious and thought I would take a peek, just want to encourage everyone to keep on trying to give up, it's now been nearly 1200 days since I gave up, can barely even remember what it was like, don't even think about it anymore at all, you can all get here too goodbye and good luck all!

1 year today, :D   i had a friend say the other day she thought i was the last person on earth to ever be able to quit, i smiled and smiled......because i had to agree with her......cravings all but gone, although i did have one the other day, dont even think about it much any more and ive waited and waited for this day to be able to say its been a year!  I also cant believe how mu...

One of the most useful tools i have found in my quit journey is research.......yes RESEARCH, im all for community based help forums, but everybodies journey is different, and what works for one does not necessarily work for another, i have spent 12 months and countless hours researching into all sorts of things, from tools that other people have used to give up smoking, what it takes to keep weig...

Hi all, im interested to know whether anyone has tried the e cigarettes that are around? apparently you can buy them with 0% nicotine?

Hi all, things as far as the no smoking are going really well for me, i have few cravings, but am having some other difficulties, i do have an axiety disorder and it is playing up a bit since i gave up, but im coping!  The thing that is really really bothering me is im getting a LOT of sore throats, in the past month i have been on antibiotics, i went to the doctor today and he said my throa...

Hi, further to my post about other symptoms of giving up smoking besides craving, if anyone out there is interested to share some of their more horrible side effects, and even better, what they did to help those symptoms, it might be great for other to know!  The worst symptom by far for me was the dizzyness, it was really scary and an off and on all day every day for the first 4 weeks, it h...

Hi all, ive been thinking for a few days about the overall quit experience, and i realised for me the worst part was the first month or so, not because of the no smoking, but because of the horrible withdrawal symptoms i unfortunately suffered! It is now day 99 for me and things are great, but that first month was a complete shock to me, i had no idea how effected you could be, or how scary some ...

Hi all, hope you are all doing well, this is day 83 for me.......with a slip up a week ago of 3 cigs one night......could not believe how HORRIBLE they tasted.  Ive smoked for 40 years and never given up before so when i first picked up those cigs (bought a packed, threw it out after the 3) i just assumed it would be as pleasant as i had always found it! well was i ever wrong, it has complet...

well today would have been day 79, except i had 3 cigarettes 2 days ago.  Frankly, i have no intention of beating myself up over it, i still consider myself now a non smoker who had a very bad slip up, jumped straight back on the horse LOL! it was a really interesting exercise actually! i didnt even have huge cravings, but i was curious about what would happen.......so ill tell you what happ...

Hi all, was just thinking today, its day 66! 66???? cant believe it its gone so fast, i feel exactly the same as i did day 1, i KNOW i will never smoke again, im a little bit smarter than day 1 though :)   i know i can and will have not so great days, the first time the bad day(s) happened just freaked me out, it was on days 49-51 and they were shockers lol!  I fee proud of myself,...
