g’day Not One Puff Ever..... NOPE

NOPE!

NOPE...

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE!!

NOPE

Nope!

Surprised by a strong cigarette-hot sunny day- pattern thought. Hush! So, note to self: Imagine the hot days where you were too short of breath to actually feel good. Remember the summer nights were you smoked so much while cursing yourself for throwing away all that money and for deliberately f*cking up your breathing. Think back at all those cigarettes you hated smoking but had too anyway. And how about dull stale cigarette stench that always seemed to rise from the couch/car/jackets in the hall as soon as the weather grew hotter? Yeah, exactly. Bye pattern, you dont fool me at nine months!

I had some cravings during these times , especially in the dull evenings . But i never bought cigarettes . And i am never planning to do it too . Anyway made it to 5 months mark without smoking . I am on my last semester of the degree course too . In the next 3 or 4 months the course ends too . So i am feeling a lot of relief and excitement 😊

Nope

A good choice Lilly . I should seriously stop bringing up NRT gums in discussions 😥

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NOPE !!!!!!

Nope

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to go back to NRT once I finish the course.

NOPE!

NOPE!!

NOPE!!!

I tried the strongest patch when I first quit but it was a bit too much for me so used the middle one instead. So did 10 weeks on that one and yesterday I started the lowest patch. I could really notice the difference but came here and posted when it got too much. The plan is to be on this one for 2-4 weeks. Anyway, I'm feeling really happy I got through the day so wanted to share this little milestone

Holy Moly! Our Jenny is 7 Years smoke free today! Huge congrats and I hope you still celebrate in some way on your Anniversary day because quitting never gets old

Keep fighting . In my melodramatic fight with cigarettes .There was only one thing that have helped me to stay away from this addiction . It was the 4mg strong nicotine gums . If on any given day i have to choose between a cigarette and a gum , i would chose this 4mg gum . Also one simple rule too . No matter how melodramatic this addiction looks like . I am not going out to buy cigarette's for me . 😊

Nope

NOPE!!!

Thanks everyone. The support and encouragement keeps me going so it's really appreciated x

Thanks a lot for the reply reciprocity I have no idea how i managed to keep my quit this much long . The cravings was always there . I only followed a simple rule . Do not buy cigarettes It worked 😊

Was just coming on to post your Anniversary Sunshine59 and, yes you are 5 whole months quit today! Congratulations!! You should be excited and you should also be very proud of what you have done. It wasn't easy for you in the beginning but you persevered and it paid off for you. You're even off those nicotine gums now so you are totally nicotine free. Hope you find a way to celebrate today. Next month, you'll be a half year quit

Good for you, Lilly!

Big congratulations to you Mona for reaching this big milestone of 1 month quit! It's the hardest month of all to get past as you are facing lots of challenges from your nicotine addiction and building your quit toolkit at the same time but, you are past that 1st month now so go celebrate big time then go back to work strengthening that quit

Thank you! The last 7 years have flown by and I am so blessed to have spent these years with you all. 💜 Keep at it folks. All of you who think you can't quit, I was one of those people too. Life is so much better as a non smoker.

Nope

Now really, you need to think on this one??? The choice is so easy to make, especially this far in your quit. You really don't need to dwell on this one -- Keep Strong, you have been doing so well!!!

I really should eat some sandwiches 😊

Fantastic job Lilly, you have had a great plan -- Keep it going!!!!

Great job, great attitude. It should keep getting easier overall from here. As you know, it's not always completely linear, but you get better and better at dealing with any bumps in the road.

Great job Lilly. You're doing fantastic!

Good job, Lilly!

Well done Sunshine. You kept going and now you're at five months. Make sure you celebrate

Good going, @Lilly

Lilly, you are working your plan, good for you! 😎

Good going Lilly!

Good stuff! This is the important thing when using NRT products. Have a reduction plan that will have you nicotine free in the end. You have that plan and are working it so Good for You! I'm sure there will be some volatility with cravings and anxiety as you step down each time but that's to be expected. Come here to vent or for support. You have the knowledge now on how to fight the cravings and you have your vision of a smoke-free Lilly so your quit is assured as long as you continue to work your plan faithfully each and every day

Well done Lilly, I'm really happy for you You so got this!!!

Hmmm I've given it some thought and I might give it a miss today

NOPE
