Stories & experiences

Hi Alican, absolutely anything is worth a try, i have an anxiety disorder, and i must say quitting cold turkey 68 days ago didnt help that anxiety disorder at the time LOL! but i got through it, i say do whatever floats your boat and gets you through, what works for one may not work for another, i personally had a lot of anxiety about putting on weight when i gave up, im heavy enough i did not need an ounce extra! so i decided to do half an hour of gentle exercise after work each night, and put ONLY healthy food in my mouth, now i also have a medical condition that has wrecked my metabolism, can never be fixed, so losing weight is incredibly difficult at the best of times, in 68 days i have not smoked, i have exercised for half hour 5-7 days a week, have lost almost 8 kgs and am feelin fine!!! its really important if you want to be successful Alican to find what works for you, then you will be able to do it as a permanent thing, good luck!!!!

Well done, rainbow ur an inpiration. Ive been so tempted today and im FEELING it BAD. Im quite cranky and almost getting to the point of giving in and going up the shops to get a packet. I started out cold turkey, until it came to the weekend then it was so tough to not think about esp with a drink. I think if you can do it with your other conditions then im sure im able to keep it up too. Its almost been 2 weeks(not smoke free) since i cut right back from about 15 a day to about 3 a day and today is a smoke free day. But good for you rainbow, 68 days is an awesome achievement. How did u cope the first few weeks?
