Haven't been on for a while, but wanted to come on and say "never give up." Today Mark's 2 years since I smoked. I was a smoker of 40 plus years and stopped cold Turkey. It was the best thing I've done for myself and proud to say i bet this habit. I'm not saying it was easy, because it wasn't. I had challenges and hurdles I had to overcome, which I did just that. Never did I pick that nasty habit back up. I told myself it was for the best, look how far you have come, do you want to start over. Before I new it, it had been 2 years. Consume yourself with other things to take that place, healthy habits, such as, walking, riding a bike, push ups. It does work.
Good luck everyone on your journey reach out to a friend for support as well as this great site.

Brilliant well done x I am 4 weeks today and preciously gave up for 9 years but started again after kidding myself I could have a social one 🙄 7 years later got to 4 weeks cold turkey again but today has been trying to say the least - feeling emotional and stressy and would be so so easy but .....
Oh Shaz, I'm afraid quitting is a crazy ride on a roller coaster.🎢 There are easy days and less easy days but it does get easier,I promise.👍
Remember the last time you thought you could have just one!🙀 Come on here,answer some posts even if you just say well done. We are all in the same boat. We are all winners!
In my 2 years don't get me wrong I did think about it, went to the store and thought just buy a pack. Looked at and told myself no way, what am I thinking. Never purchased a pack in over 2 years it's a great feeling. You can do it, you have once before.
Congratulations on two years smoke-free!!! I realize just how hard that was for you but like a true trooper you hung in there, Hats off to you. I have 5 months in now and feel better without inhaling all that poison. I do not intend to go back to that nasty habit and it is people like you who inspire me to keep going! Keep up the tremendous good work and Merry Christmas to you. You are a true inspiration!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family scaredy. Having 5 months in is a huge milestone, I remember when I was at that point. I felt so much better with myself and progress. Keep up the great work you got this
Wow that's a good run.. and I bet you didn't know how much it costs..it shocked me when I did the math..am so glad for you... hug's 😊😎😊
It was a shock how much I've spent and now how much I've saved. Six weeks is a great start to a wonderful life, keep it up, you've come this far and I know you got this.
