500 ciggies not smoked!

[Tryingtquit]

My wee 'stop smoking' app informed me that I've achieved another milestone. 500 ciggies not smoked. Though I'm still early in my quit it's surprising how quickly the cigs not smoked adds up.

I doubt I'd feel as positive about quitting if it wasn't for this forum. Thanks to all who contribute, it really helps.

All the best,

George

Great positive post George, you are doing so well and soon will be 3 months quit

Thanks Roisin,

That's the goal! One milestone at a time. Stopping champix in about a week's time; I'm interested to see what I feel like off it.

I do worry that I'll never stop craving ciggies but believe others when they say the cravings lessen with time.

I promise George, the cravings do ease and become less frequent as time passes by - you will be grand when you stop the champix as you are doing all the hard work yourself now anyway and have a great mindset

Well done George! Yes, Roisin is right, the cravings do get much easier to overcome as time passes by

thanks for the support! I appreciate it. My wife says she no longer gets cravings (she's quit for over 8 years now). There is light at the end of the (pretty long) tunnel!

Cheers.

Well done George.

It is quite frightening how quickly all the cigarettes not smoked, add up.

Keep going strong. 😃
