I did it...I made it 6 months. It still sucks and I feel like it is the second week since I quit smoking but I haven't slipped up.

Good to hear from you Ashley, huge congratulations on 6 months smoke free, you are fighting hard and victory is well in sight. What you are experiencing and feeling seems to be quite normal and a common trend - see below pinned post I done up a while back. This will pass, hold on to all you have to look forward with the new baby in a couple of months time and you closer to joining us in the Penthouse.

Well done , but your still getting strong cravings by the sounds of things ... wow ..just goes to show you how strong the addiction can be ...

I’m at almost 9 months now.. smoked for a good 25/ 30 yrs ..rolled my own , about 15 a day ..

I think upto about the 4th month it was still haunting me and pushed on ...

I don’t even think about them now , I’m pretty much same mindset as a non Smoker ..

Main thing is , you’ve pushed on ....

it will get easier .... 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
