I'm on day 18, so a long way to catch up. Have given up before or made a few failed attempts over my 40 years as a smoker, but in it for the long haul now 100%.

Love this community.

10 weeks does that count as months ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿค”

I gave up after my 3rd hospital admission . It was an easy decision to make after smoking for 49 years. It ill be 3 years in January 2017. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager. GC

I've gained weight since I quit but I'm certain I'm healthier even with 25 pounds. Great feeling to be a quitter๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Actually, other than the first 12 years of my life, I haven't been a non smoker. I have either been a smoker or an ex smoker.๐Ÿ˜‹

Just short of 6 months, & I'm so thrilled I still can't believe I've actually accomplished it after wanting to quit for so long, so let's all look forward to a fresh year as non smokers with better health, more cash, & smelling fresh as Daisy's ( hopefully anyways๐Ÿ˜‚)

4 1/2 years for me too. Best thing I ever did. I still haven't got the weight back to before I gave up but I am really fit now. I rarely think about smoking now, apart from the smell when I'm in proximity of it, but I would never be one of those "cough, cough" people who wave thier hands about. It is hard, but it does become easier in time.

Always, always remember NOPE if you're ever the least bit tempted and the moment will soon pass. :)

I quit aug 3 2016 and I started slipping the first week in November not everyday but 2-5 on the days I did slip. But then I started over and now I'm on day 13 of the restart.

Three years past September this year. Don't ever even think about smoking now and feel sorry for those that are still hooked. Also lost all of my quit weight and then some. I'm the lightest and fittest I've been since my 20's (I'm now 58!!) Never give up yourquit, just so worth the effort and early misery. x

3 months 8 days....and I am out and drunk and just caved and had a drunken cig and am so disappointed in myself that I had to come on here to confess...so sad and disgusted rigjt now. Don't want to start over as seeing my timeline has always been such an inspiration for me. I'm a loser. Do I need to restart the clock after one slip up? Didn't even taste good...so sad.
