best of luck. I have smoked off and on for 16 years. Quit a few times, and it does really get easier after first week. But youve got to watch out for the triggers, like you said, coffee for you!! You can do it, Im planning my next quit after my blood test results on monday. Best of luck, just keep reminding yourself that the cravings will decrease. :hugs:its awful, I know

I'm 6 months in, it is possible ! I used to smoke, drink, eat unhealthy food and do nothing all day and get ill all the time. Now I go to the gym 5 times a week, eat healthy, not drink and get stuff done. I'm really boring now LOL but I know its for the best.

Thanks for the replies, Ive really struggled today and I really want a ciggy but I've not had one so far. I wish you all well on journey, we can do it. I'm not feeling very talkative today good luck everyone.

I'm on to my second week of giving up, I have to admit i have had a few weak moments and had a drag here and there but put it out in disgust! It's so hard to give up and i'm determined this time, and by the way my anxiety has been so much better since i stopped , So good luck everyone , let's kick this one up the butt !! :)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

i'm 4 and a half months off them - smoked for about 13 years! (14-27)

Stopped after my first panic attack!

Still having the odd craving - mainly after dinner - and my partner is still smoking which is annoying but he will give up in his own time.

Well done Kath. I gave up cold turkey on Dec 13th. I had such a bad cough I was unable to actually smoke so it was forced on me. After about two weeks the cough had eased a bit but by then I thought nope....I'll stop. Still there 2.5 months later.

Good luck everyone....you can do it

i'm joining the pack (ooops, no pun intended). i'm on my fourth month and no more craving. i can have coffee and not reach out for a stick.

watch your appettite. you may have a real big one pretty soon. that's what i got when i quit -- everything i eat tastes sooooo good. that's why i exercise more often now.

go for it, kathryn!

I gave up 5 yrs in sept, was the best thing I ever did. It is hard but gets easier and easier. I used the patches and that really seemed to help. Good luck you Can do it!!!

[Typer]

Well done to those who are actually doing it. It has to be good in the end.
