morning All

Been hangin in with the help of lozenges,inhaler for the rough times. Also doctor gave me some zyban with a few refills to help with the mental dependency.
I have to keep motivated since 2 of my closest smoking friends have quit because little miss QUIT QUITTING (that be me) has been doing better than any other attempt I made in the past 1300 cigs in a pile that are not in my lungs have been a good motivator. Money is a thing but really I just spend it on other stuff so its all about how many I would of smoked.
So if there is anyone out there new in their quit please keep it up because we are worth it.
JUST saying... have a wonderful smoke free day just like me..
chronic 56

started when I was 12. picked it up again under immense stress when i was 46. quit for 20 years or longer before with my dad's help. I don't have any help anymore, just myself. I realise just picking one up when watching tv is deadly, because it is a trigger. Got to stop picking them up. I find it monotonous trying to quit and fight this. I have the money but need to save it. wasting it on cigarettes is not a good idea. gum works for a while, don't like candy though been using my inhaler. Got the spray and the patches. I've got to start using them.

In emergency on January 23- lung infection- pneumonia- breath or smoke. Opted for breathing. Asked my God to help me to quit and make it easy and I promised I would not pick up again. So far so good. Did purchase prescription and all Nicorette products but don’t want to be dependent on them. Glass of water has helped and my confidence in God has worked thus far.

Post up your quit stats. I've been content not using just a lozenge for now. Saved thousands, and gambling all away so I don't reward myself with vape. Better a little with Jesus than cigarettes

I now have COPD, so must quit

Hello everyone

I am very pleased with myself took a trip to Las Vegas and did a marathon to celebrate my two month quit. I did not smoke. I did not know either that you can smoke inside everywhere. It was so strange to see that. Kids were around too. Not cool.

Well I promised myself I’d stay connected here for 7 months. I’m going to sign off now and move forward. Thank you everyone for the encouragement, it was helpful beyond measure. I’d like to wish everybody the best of luck in your quit journey. Some advice if I may. This helped me along the way. If you feel sad, cry. Crawl in a corner and bawl your eyes out if you want. If you feel angry, and frustrated, punch something ( not someone lol although it is tempting...). Rant and rave in the privacy and safety of your own space. And if you get discouraged, please, go to a mirror and truly look into your own eyes. Ask yourself, am I worth it? Peace and love everyone. I hope I won’t be back 💕💕

Well, I've been down this road before. Hi everyone, I'm back. I'm on day 10 using the nicotine lozenges and they're working great...highly recommend.
What happened is I was hospitalized with Hypertensive Crisis and they said I also have the beginnings of COPD.
I had to stop smoking...no alternative. But it's all cool because I already feel so much better!

Edit : Just wanted to add such a shame it took a medical emergency for me to finally see the light.

I quit for 10 years and started again, I find smoking meditative and know it is the habit I need to deal with. I have quit cold turkey so many times and cant seem to get past the 2 month mark. I dont like how I smell and for that reason am a closet smoker with most situations other than around my close friends and certain social events.

I am a 61 yr old female who has smoked since my teens. I have quit for over a year once using Champix. I quit again in August this year and have started again this past week. My husband is a smoker and when he comes into the house I can smell the smoke on him. I enjoy the smell and of course it triggers me.

My partner quit 3 years ago, I need to quit for health.

You deserve good things! You are worthy of the very best life has to offer! Happiness isn’t reserved for an exclusive club, and success isn’t only for a select few. Once you embrace the simple truth- —the rest is easy, because something incredible happens when you believe in your dreams: They come true. (WW) Never give up, you’re more likely to stop smoking if you believe you can. Happy quits everyone. Hugs, Lucille. 👍👏🎗🚭😊♥️

Hi Liz,

Long time didn't see you online. I hope you are well. If you see my post please leave me a msg.

I miss you so much. Cheer you up and KEEP NOPE

Stand firm to say No to nicodemon

Im trying this week to really train my brain to not think about smoking. I’m happy I quit but thinking about the quit and talking about it causes triggering. Go forth live life quit giving it attention. No more thinking or saying the word smoking. It’s step by step brainwashing to end this stupid addiction I must saying.

Have a wonderful evening!!
