Hi Kayla and welcome to quit support

Well done on reaching 3 weeks smoke free, that is a fantastic effort

There is a wealth of information under the topics that just helps you understand what you can expect as part of quitting.

We all experience different things but just knowing what is quite normal, makes it easier and reduces the need to worry. On saying that, if you do have any health concerns, your best talking with your GP.

This quit support group has been such a great tool in helping people plan their quits and staying quit. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask there is bound to be someone who has experienced the same thing

Let us know your quit date and i will add you to the wall of winners - this is where we assign milestone quit badge to your name.

I hope you enjoy this quit support forum as we have lots of members all on the same journey and always willing to help.

All the very best of luck on your quit journey

Welcome kayla😀

Congratulations on your decision to quit😃

Quitting smoking can be quite scary as our body adapts to not having all those nasty chemicals sucked into it and we may experience lots of different side effects of quitting.

As the lovely Emjay and Glolin have posted we are all here to help and support each other😀

If it's any consolation the side effects do go and it does get easier. My hubby still smokes and I thought it would interfere with me quitting but I think it made me more determined 😊

You can do this, good luck 🍀🍀

Xx

Hi Kayla,

Congratulations to you and well done.

I am six days away from a year quit and was quite a bit stunned by the various "side effects" of the quit: weight gain, bad dreams, sleeplessness, skin issues and lots of blah, blah, blah that no one really tells you to expect. HA! Perhaps because they don't want to scare you OUT of quitting.

One of my dear friends is a pharmacist and she scolded me a bit for complaining about the above: "let's see...you poisoned yourself for 30+ years and actually expect the withdrawal to be flawless?" It shut my big yappy mouth up as I realized how right she was.

The good news outside of being fatter + sleeping less....I can breathe again. Breathing. Isn't that a lovely word?! It sure feels good.

This place will be a God send to you in your journey as it has been mine. The good humor and good will is tremendous.

Take good care.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to letaparadise56]

Aup Leta, its lovely to see you

Dont worry, I will be out and about stumbling over them there fields next week trying to catch your new Winners badge ermmmm, is it a 10 months Winners badge you want

Your Pharmacist friend is spot on gal I'd never thought of it that way before

Take care now and see ya soon

Pete

Hi Pete,

One year on 28th day of this month. Sheesh, allmighty. What a journey. Seems silly to think of smoking in such an elevated state, doesn't it???

Sending you love and good wishes.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to letaparadise56]

I've jotted it down in my diary Leta cos I just cant trust my 1 brain cell today hmmm, mind you saying that, I cant trust it any day

It sounds like you had a really tough time of it but if you can breath easier now then am sure it was well worth it

[LilyMay73 LONG TERM WINNER in reply to letaparadise56]

Ooh, it's so nice to see so many reaching great milestones and still here to encourage whenever possible

I know what you mean about fatter, I put on a staggering 5 stones during my quit but am now on the road to recovery there too having lost 1stone 3lbs in the last 8 weeks. Can also walk more miles and it's my legs not lungs that give out

This has to be the best quit site ever and as far as I'm concerned the administrators deserve a whacking great medal for everything they do
