Hey all I've been looking for a supportive forum while I am quitting. I had my last cigarette at 9pm on Valentine's Day. I'm 43, and have smoked regularly since I was in my early 20's. With two long breaks during pregnancy. I've tried to quit maybe 8/9 times. Tried nrt, and vaping. Neither of these have worked for me in the past - my best way is plaster off after cutting down and just getting the nicotine out of my system altogether. The main side effects I have struggled with have been my emotions, although I can have odd "highs" too which I imagine must be all the receptors trying to figure out what's happening. Also my digestion is buggered, I've never burped so much in my life and constantly feel "gurgly" inside, like a shaken up can of coke. (Or other off brand cola ) Tired too - but determined. It's time. So yeah - hi, what a thing we put ourselves through eh!

NOPE!!!!!!

Absolutely, I really enjoyed treating myself to things I couldn’t really afford when I was spending £60-£70 a week on smoking ! Or save up and after a month treat yourself to something bigger . I found the first months small items bought regularly kept me motivated, and I looked forward to my treats. A nice bottle of perfume costing less than what I would have spent on smoking in a week! Amazing how much money we threw at damaging ourselves.

This is such a lovely place. Thank you all, so much. I'm actually looking forward to payday next week - knowing that not one penny of it is going to go on smoking

Hi all Haha - yeah I may have failed to mention its pretty noisy both ends getting slowly better though. I've had some odd fluttering sensations that seem to be gas bubbles too it's very easy to start thinking you're dying though, which is ridiculous given that when I was smoking I didn't think that every day I just carried on. I'm on the herbal teas and have knocked any booze on the head while I find my feet with not lighting up. The two go hand in hand and it's not worth the regret!

Keep the quit Linda! Quitting smoking sucks but smoking for the rest of your life sucks more!!

If you want even more incentive carpe consider adding a ticker to your signature. You'll get to see how much time, cigarettes not smoked and money saved add up. I used to LOVE watching mine add up AND it will show you how much you'll lose should you cave to a crave. Here's the link: https://www.quittrain.com/tickers/ The British pound symbol isn't working right now so you'll need to use one of the other two if you're overseas

NOPE!

Hey Ace white: A while back I did, not no more. CBDave Never thought about 63 being 21 for the third time ? I like that ! Now that all the cake is gone I can get back to eating proper, and taking care of my self

Don't forget why you quit. "If you know the why, you can live any how." --Friedrich Nietzsche

The choices are 1...be a slave to the cigarette for the rest of your life, wishing you could quit. 2... put up with some discomfort for a few months until your body gets used to going without nicotine. Choose wisely. keep your quit.

Just keep plugging along Linda because you will get there, it just takes some of us longer than others. I was one of the longer timers and I got through it and so will you

Catlover is right .... The cigerette does nothing for you ...it only takes away .... Your stronger than you think ...the only way is to keep going !!!

Keep it going, don’t let those whiny whispering voices get to you. Stay strong it’s so worth it. You have a great quit going on, don’t throw it away.

I couldn’t afford to buy a £60 bottle of perfume every week, so god knows how I found my smoking money, but found it I did, even if it meant not eating....crazy! Definately addiction. The Cigarette called the shots!

Two months is fabulous! Congratulations Jeff!!

Yeah I genuinely thought he would die the other night. Although I did lift the quilt up and put it over his head after I let loose. Hopelessly romantic, me.

I used my gas to get back at my husband

NOPE

I had a punching pillow !!! I decided to draw a face on it ...I won't say who... And I took much pleasure ..in sending it flying through the air.... Great way to help with anger moments ....I always ended up laughin... I loved that pillow
