Hi! Wishing you all the best on quitting. I have 3 months and 10 days without a cigarette now. You can do it! Welcome aboard.

It’s a hard thing to do but I did it twice quoting the second time was much harder.

1st time I smoked from when I was 14 until I was 30 I think it was easier then because that’s when me and my husband started to try to have kids and I knew that would be bad for the baby while pregnant.

Than last January I had quit finally after the 2nd time after a year and 3 months it was a struggle.

You have to find the motivation to wanna quit and incentive for me I was tired of always having to go outside and as my husband was never a smoker I was always worried for when I’d go to kiss him especially sometimes outve the blue he would be grossed out.

Then spending $70.00 a week on cigarettes that was money I could be using towards better things or things really needed. I’ve saved over $4000.00 since I quit and I like how it keeps adding up.

Congratulations to you both!
I have quit before. I've been cutting down. Today I smoked 4.
Have picked a quit date-it's a month away.

It’s a very hard thing to do especially when it’s a 2nd time it’s even much harder the 2nd time.

You just have to remember the 1st couple of weeks or the 1st month is the hardest and as it gets easier the longer you go.

But there are going to be times when you walk by someone smoking the smell is going to tempt you at times or when your stressed.

I personally wish cigarettes were healthy and honestly wish I come be the occasional person who could smoke a cigarette and not want one for a long time but what you put in front of me will make me wanna smoke more.

What’s easier I find is no one smokes indoors no more and how there’s no longer the smoking or non smoking sections because it’s all non smoking and even outside at events there’s the designated smoking areas or there’s no smoking at the event.

I agree that it's very hard to stop smoking a second time. I'm currently going through that myself at the moment. The first time I stopped, it was for a whole year then I went through something extremely stress which caused me to pick the habit back up again. I went through a break up last year which involved kids and I was used to coming home to my family all the time but it drastically changed and smoking helped ease the loneliness I feel.

I don't remember where I read about this info but replacing your urges with exercising can help subside the feeling of wanting to smoke. I'm going to try it out myself and see if that works and maybe you guys can as well.

Hello! Yes! I am going through the same process. I am so used to smoking on breaks at work, social drinking outings, or just when I am driving. I as I am getting older, and more out of breath, I am really trying to break this habit!

Any tips or tricks, send them my way!

All the best. Just find an alternative.
