2 weeks down

[Vicky68]

Hello everyone. I am 2 weeks smoke free after smoking for 36 years. Hoping it is not too late to quit. It is going good so far

[Scarlet123 3 Years Smoke Free]

Never too late! I quit after 35 years, heavy smoking. I was all over the place at 2 weeks! This forum is a life saver for me.....so well done 👍

Thank you scarlet how long have you been a nonsmoker

[Scarlet123 3 Years Smoke Free in reply to Vicky68]

3 months, 23 days....and counting! It is a roller coaster at times and reading the posts here has kept me from feeling like I am on my own with it. Just remember ‘not another puff, no matter what!’

[Vicky68 1 Year Smoke Free in reply to Scarlet123]

Oh yes i agree. I feel if I had just one I would be sucked right back in. Can not do that

Welcome Vicky68 - congratulations on 2 weeks smoke free, well done!

Are you going cold turkey or using some form of NRT? I stopped cold turkey 3 years ago in September and never looked back - its a rollercoaster of a journey and one of the hardest and best achievements of my life so far....

It is never too late to stop and something you will never regret. We look forward to reading your progress

Day 38 for me after 40 years. Keep plowing through!

[Vicky68 1 Year Smoke Free in reply to Squeela112]

I can’t wait to reach that 30 day marker squeela112. How are you feeling now

[Squeela112 1 Year Smoke Free 6 Months Smoke Free in reply to Vicky68]

I feel like just this past week it has become easier. For the first time this past week i feel like this can be a forever quit. I have been using nrt mini lozenges. I am down to about 4mg a day. Some days no mg. It is not necessarily the cravings but the emotions. So many feels and i don't have a cigarette to run too to feel better. Getting over that hump is worth it though! I still have work to do. We can do this!

I think it is always going to be challenge but some days easier than others. I am using the patch right now
