Welcome back, Pumpkin. Stick close to this site and it will help give you the support you need to quit for good. Life is much better without cigarettes.

Welcome aboard @Beachmom23 and congratulations on deciding to take your life back from nicotine addiction. There is plenty of knowledge and support you can gain here to help you stay smoke free for good. It is nice to have you here.

NOPE - Smoking is horrible.

NOPE - Smoking sucks!

Good job fighting through this, @Sunshine59

Keep up the great work, @AndrewAsh

That's what worked for me. I made multiple attempts to quit, mostly cold turkey. I tried to quit by cutting down (bad mistake). I even switched to vaping a few times (even worse mistake). One day, after yet another failed quit attempt, I stumbled across a quit smoking support group similar to this one and participated regularly. The support, knowledge, and accountability really helped me quit for good. My advice is to put your last cigarette out, commit to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever, there is a section on this site where you can pledge daily), participate here and reach out for help if you are tempted to smoke. Quitting smoking may be tough but it is definitely doable, as the folks on this site can attest...and life as a nonsmoker is much better than life as an addict.

NOPE!

Congratulations @Sunshine59 on 5 months smoke free. I hope thing went well with your exams too.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever Happy Friday, everybody!

Listening to the more mellow Van Halen right now..

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

I'm sorry to hear about your relapse BA. I'm glad you are quitting again but as Jillar said, what are you going to do differently to guarantee success? I had a number of quit attempts that I failed at. Joining a support site like this and promising myself that I would reach out to the fellow members if I really was tempted to smoke helped me quit for good. Accountability can really help you quit smoking.

Welcome aboard, Andrew. A lot of great advice has already been given. I had issues with insomnia too but they should get better with time. Keep up the great work. You are making it through the toughest part and things do get better.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Congratulations Jim.

Congratulations @JimHannoonen. That is awesome

Congratulations on 3 years smoke free, Rozuki. Thank you for continuing to pay it forward by helping others with their quits. I hope you celebrate today.

Congratulations on 2 great accomplishments. Keep up the great work.

NOPE
