Well done. I am at the same stage as you. This site is amazing and is really helping me. I wish I had known about it before! Stay strong and focused and be very very proud of yourself.

Loads of good advice there from glolin. From my experience of attempting to quit the real shift came when I placed support in & around me. Keeping close to this site is a major one & reading up on the storage of info under the pinned posts. And then putting them into action, whether it be drinking more water, practising some breathing exercises or discussing helpful NRT replacements...All has been a part of my Quit & assisting in my smoke free Life which by the way is a life beyond my wildest dreams. Keep going, if we can do one day we can do 5 as you have evidence for. Keeping it within the day is a fantastic way to build up our quit tally. An if we fall we simply get up & go again. Best to you, iris NOPE

Yes you will! One breath, one moment, one day at a time!

[Briarwood Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

Welcome Hope and well done on your quit😊 Your determination is really going to help and there's lots of good advice here too. On average we take 20,000 breaths a day and don't even think about it. Focus on your deep breathing and it'll help your cravings pass. Stay positive and take one day at a time, good luck🍀🚭🚭🚭

i quite agree i stopped over ten years ago and i tell you it does get better . when i stopped three days later i came down with a bout of flu and oxygen levels on the floor made a vow then to never smoke ever again and over ten years later i am still smoke free so it does get better just stick to it . and the best of luck .
