Gawd. I’m afraid to move! My shop and my work in the shop is a trigger. I need to get in there and work! I never smoked in there but it seems getting out of the house and heading there is one smoke. Then when I finish something or get tired of working on something I have a smoke. What will I do now. I hate it. Why can’t I just relax and smoke? Aaaaaaarrrrg

This is a tough day! Sooooooo much emotion pouring out of me that I didn’t even know I was feeling. Normally I’d grab a cigarette or twenty and smoke through the painful emotion but now that I’ve quit I can’t do that. 🤔 so I went for a crazy long drive, blasted music, journaled, walked, and thought I’d check in here as you guys are my only support really. If I can find the bravery I will make it to my second aqua fit class tomorrow. Feels a million tears away right now but this too shall pass? Hope someone can jump in and give me some guidance on what the f to do with all these difficult emotions. I feel like I’m drowning. Take care, D

Here I go again! Quit smoking today with Zyban. I hope it works as I really have to give up this nasty habit. As some of you know from my past quitting attempts, I was diagnosed with COPD three years ago. I've recently retired early from my work with Island Health for that reason. Wish me luck and happy quitting!

Hello

I've been hear before and I'm back. Today is my quit day and I'm pumped. Just have to stay positive and know that a craving will pass. I must admit that that quitting vaping seems easier than when I quit smoking, but only time will tell.

Best of luck to everyone!

I just smoked my last cigarette tomorrow is my official quitting day. I feel positive about my decision to quit it's a filthy overly expensive habit with absolutely zero good outcomes.
Wish me luck!!
I only had two smokes today as compared to
my usual pack per day. I've been contemplative for a while now and am finally taking action.

Hi
My name is Alana and I am 52 years old
I have been smoking since I was 13 back when it was affordable but with the cost of gas and everything else it's ridiculous to even try to justify it anymore. Especially because I am trapped in a toxic relationship that I will never be able to escape unless I am not spending $500/month on cigarettes.

I can’t stop smoking a cigarette every 2 or 3 hours.

Ready to quit for real. Looking for support in social situations when others are smokers.

Ready to quit smoking for real this time.

I've smoked since I was 14 years old. I recently joined a church where smoking is frowned upon...

Back here, once again folks. After almost 18 months of freedoms from smoking, I’ve relapsed for the past three months, right back to where I left off. Frustrated and angry with myself but ready to give it another go. Sigh.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful mamas out there ❤️

Ok. So I quit when I ran out of butts yesterday. This morning I breathed, walked, ate a good breakfast, had
A shower to get the stink off. I thought I had done all the laundry with stink last week. Guess I gotta do it again because my house
Smells even though I never smoked in it. Anyway I got in my truck and I’m sitting here in the parking lot of work. It stinks in here too but it’s a good stink now because the key holder is late
For work and I tried the chat and no one is available so I suppose I will just get out and breathe. Omg. I’m just fit to be tied. I’ve done this numerous, no countless times and what a shot show to put myself through. I don’t know why I start up. I know this part is bad

i’m gay so that’s why i smoke
