Yikes, here are my 21,740 cigarettes. I can't believe I used to do that shit. Life is so much better without cigarettes.

Present

I remember you from QSMB, Foe. I hate that you relapsed. I hope you see that life as a non-smoker was a lot better for you than your recent life as a smoker. Those cigarettes do nothing positive for you at all. I'm glad you are quitting again. Just like at QSMB, stick close to this site and reach out if you are struggling. It is time for you to put cigarettes behind you forever.

Great stuff, Shane. I just started looking at the pics but so far, they look awesome. Quitting smoking really improves your life in ways you never expected.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Welcome to the lido deck, Ela! Congratulations on 1 year smoke free!

Congratulations Martian! You are doing great!

Congratulations!

Congratulations Roopy!

Congratulations Rory!

Welcome, Ang. Congrats on quitting smoking. Great move taking it one day at a time. Stick around. There is a lot of support and knowledge you can get at this website that can help you stay quit for good.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

NRT's have been very successful for many people but they used it to slowly ween themselves off of nicotine. However, at this point, you are already nicotine free - I wouldn't go back to putting nicotine in your system. What you are feeling is now psychological cravings, not physical ones. It is best to stay nicotine free now. I'm glad I'm glad you are back. Great job posting an SOS. You can do this!

Congratulations CAquitter!

Congratulations Gabes!

Welcome to QuitTrain, Hayley. Congrats on deciding to quit smoking. Like you, I had several attempts to quit before quitting for good. That cycle of quitting and relapsing is horrible. It is best to quit for good and leave the cig's behind forever. Yes, it may feel like quitting is very hard. These are normal thoughts. However, seeking out support as well as educating yourself about nicotine addiction really helps in quitting for good. You will find a lot of support and knowledge here. And to reference Jillar's previous post, more people will see your posts in the introduction thread. There are a lot of people here willing to help you out and wanting you to succeed in quitting for good. It is nice to have you here.

NOPE - nothing good comes from smoking.

I'm so glad you posted an SOS and fought through this, Tammy. Anytime you need our help, please reach out to us. I hope whatever you are going though gets better and you can get some peace. Just remember, that peace will not come from a cigarette though. You are over 4 months quit. That is a huge accomplishment. Do whatever you have to do to protect that great quit.

The damn irritating voice inside you will quieten down soon. Craves, even strong ones like you are currently going through, will go away. Just don't smoke.

You are stronger than your crave, Tammy. Whatever is going on will NOT be fixed by smoking.

You have a great quit going, Tammy. Don't give up on it. Hopefully you've noticed considerable positive life changes since putting out that last cigarette. You will just throw all that away if you smoke again. I've relapsed before. That relapse cigarette is horrible. It will not give you peace or relaxation. It will just taste horrible and you will feel horrible. Please don't light up. Nothing is worth going back to being a smoker.

Congratulations Wren!
