Stories & experiences

Way to go Robyn. You are another member that I will never catch up to, but I will always enjoy my life as a non-smoker. I embraced the concept and am enjoying the rewards. You are a true supporter of the cause of quitting smoking and an inspiration to us all. You also, Knowing it is not just counting the days but a true acceptance of the change which makes some of us free in a very short time. I am glad you are enjoying your freedom, health and wealth.

Thank you Happiness, wouldn’t it be great if everyone who wants to quit could fast forward to the future.....but alas we all have to earn our freedom. All it takes is the commitment that they had to stay smoking transferred to not smoking.
I think some make their quit harder than it needs to be by analysing every detail....just do it and be free xx

Couldn't agree more! So many of us make Quitting harder by fixating on Why am I, Whats this, What the, How come, How much, If only, How Hard, I hope everybody can get my drift here? And at some stages of our lives all of us can self think like this.
BUT, regardless of how we think and process information. We all can make Quitting a little easier with a few tips.
Truly want to Quit and really believe that you can and will.
Unwavering commitment to stay off them NO MATTER WHAT.
Be absolutely certain of knowing when you've had your final PUFF.
Just a little input and to thank Robn for her sensible approach , support and suggestions over many years.
Congratulations Robn.

Thank you PuffNoMore, sometimes I think people downplay how much committment it took to continue smoking....all the people who had a go at you for being stupid, wasting your money, damaging your health etc. if you had the committment to smoke regardless, then you have the committment to stop. None of this is rocket science, it is pretty simple.
There is nothing positive about smoking, no matter what you choose to believe, start believing in yourself, loving yourself and respecting yourself...life instantly becomes so much better on all levels.

Well done Robyn. You should be so proud. Being smoke free is fantastic

So true. Like you say, the level of commitment required to keep affording to buy ya way through an addiction to nicotine or a smoking habit is astonishing now!
You're probably right that there is nothing positive in smoking and we know for certain that it is stupid:)

Thank you Nuts......we all should be proud....those who have beaten it and those who are trying.
Smoke free living is awesome

I think one's SELF BELIEF and WANT to Quit is the MINDSET




BUT




Who care's what it's called,





as long as it works!





any quit is a good one,

It is better than smoking, in my opinion.

all the best to everyone on your journey.

Well done Robn, congrats. Anything is possible and you are a living proof.

Hey Robn !! :)
I have been out of town for work, so I just saw your post :)
You are absolutely right. It seems that most make quitting MUCH harder than it has to be. It's all in your frame of mind. You rock !! :)

Thanks Safe and Red....we have all changed our mindset, from thinking smoking was vital to a happy life, to knowing it indeed made our lives miserable. The money, time, inconvenience it took to maintain our addiction was such a waste and once free we see it for what it truly was. There would not be one of us that would go back to those days.....
I hope all new quitters use the KISS method.....Keep It Simple Stupid. Stay well everyone and happy x
