For a long time I read the messages on this site, the successes, the difficulties, the encouragement and the hints even though I had not signed up as a member.
9am on 1 March I put out a cigarette and decided to try AGAIN to stop. It is now 8:30pm (Australian time) 2 April and so far so good some days are OK, some days not so good but to all the people who have posted messages on this site - THANK YOU. You have helped more than you will ever know
After 40 years breaking such a long term habit is tricky but I am trying to be stubborn with NOPE

Congratulations and well done on reaching your second month. I'm not far behind you so will be joining you in your new room tomorrow evening 6:00pm UK time. This forum and the people who post are invaluable in helping with our quits. I didn't believe it at first, and with this quit, set my quit date, announced it on here, then didn't come back for a week! I failed that time, but 10 days later I stopped being stubborn, took some forum advice and started coming on at least everyday, and my quit has stuck. This, more than anything I believe is keeping me going. I'll get strong enough eventually to need it less or at all, but for now, yep, thanks to everyone. I owe you and newbies when they arrive. All the best justdoit. keep inspiring others
Hi Walkabout, congratulations this room is very nice and I look forward to your arrival. As I now eat all day (instead of smoking) there will be plenty of cakes, chocolate, cheese, crackers, and drinks available
Those days are passing quite nicely, don't you think?, Of course you will have easy and difficult days, but I can say in all honesty, the longer the quit the weaker the crave,
Doing great, a huge pat on the back from me, brilliant
I have a feeling it is. And it's all the bad stuff. I'm not exactly reaching for an apple or a raw carrot (which I really like!) to snack on. In time though..................:eek:
Nice post you are doing so well. I have been smoking for nearly 50 years so I know how difficult it is to break this long term habit. I too have good and bad days but I think the good days are getting more frequent now. I'll be in your room in a few days so make a space for me
