Slow progress

Thanks all - it’s great knowing this site is here to support us when we struggle a bit … I haven’t smoked and can’t imagine smoking - Just need to get over this feeling of missing something

Nope

Just what I needed to read today- coming up for nearly 7months smoke free but really bad cravings for the last few days. I won’t smoke but I’m finding that I’m constantly trying to get the same sort of fix I got from smoking - feeling grumpy. Husband still smoking and I feel annoyed with him for just constantly standing outside smoking - in his defence - he smokes less than I ever did! Posting here as I am definitely not going to crack but why after all this time am I still not settled?

Back for 5 months of non smoking - still LOVING IT,

Congrats Brioski! I am back here for my 5 month celebration that you helped me get to - I thank you from the bottom of my heart x loving not smoking

NOPE

Well I’m back here after 4 months and still quit. Still get occasional thoughts about smoking but would never do it, so just get on with the day! I LOVE being a non smoker

Hi Brioski it actually helps me being around a smoker. Although I still get urges, watching the relentless smoking of my husband sorts me out! He wastes so much time just sitting outside smoking - plus his ashtrays and outside bins stink! like you, I miss smoking but I’m never going back to it I don’t think you will either so try not to give it too much headspace….. you are rocking it and should be proud of your progress x

I’m still chugging along - have been suffering more in the way of random cravings lately - trying to just ignore it as I can’t get complacent and slip …. hoping that once the snow hits I’ll just be happy not to be freezing my ass off outside. SIX MONTHS IS EPIC!

NOPE

Tough times for you Brioski but I know you won’t smoke! You helped me so much at the start of my quit - always cheering me on …. you have done so well - I know you don’t want to start again at day 1 so please, do anything you can to keep off those cigarettes - you have been just so strong so I know you can do it!

NOPE

NOPE

Hi all - thanks so much. Had my daughter out to visit and she brought Covid as a present. Finally recovered and still smoke free and mostly happy. glad to see Brioski and Sandi still doing well with their quit

Cannot imagine getting to 7 years - a huge well done to you!
