Hi efficacy, welcome aboard the QT! This is my 3rd and forever quit....smoked 40+ years and had a 1 month quit about 30 years ago....then a torturous 6 month quit about 27 years ago (no internet at that time!) After some pretty serious medical issues, largely due to smoking, in the last 2 years (which I have spoken about here on QT) it was time to stop fooling around. I joined an online support group (QSMB) and I know how important that support is regarding how to deal with craves and triggers. The key thing for me was admitting that, yes, I was a nicotine addict and I really needed to educate myself. Read, read, read and watch the Joel videos and participate here...not only will you help yourself but others in the same boat as you! Take it one day at a time and the days will add up quickly. You can do this....😎

Congrats, Redemption3/Potts! Celebrate and KTQ! You mention boredom alot...don't you have work around the house to do or any hobbies?

Congrats, Gigi74! Two years is just so terrific! Celebrate your achievement and KTQ! 😎

Hi Jeff and welcome aboard! I am also a 40+ year smoker and joined an online support group about 3 months into my quit... 2nd best thing I ever did (quitting was best thing I ever did!) Look around here and read, read, read and watch the Joel videos to gain an insight to your addiction and how it messes with you. Participate here, play games, get to know your fellow quitters. Take it one day at a time! The days will add up and things will get a bit easier as time goes on. Congrats on your almost 4 months quit!!! Celebrate your achievement and KTQ. 😎

My constant coughing stopped after about a week...the terrible phlegm production after two weeks...and the problems with my eyes cleared up almost immediately and they were no longer bloodshot....God, I didn't realize what a mess I was! My messed up arteries took surgery to clear up and I have been dealing with that issue since the day I quit! PS Just had my one year anniversary last week since my CABGx3 surgery...got the thumbs up from cardiologist...echo normal, ekg normal, blood-work normal. What a relief...I can get back to my gardening with no restrictions! 🌞

Congrats, Phoebe2! Five years....that is so fabulous! Celebrate your milestone and KTQ! 😎
