Having troubles sleeping any advice?
So I'm new to this site, I recently quit smoking 6/06/15 I decided to quit because I kept getting some pretty bad throat problems, where after smoking for a few days my throat would start hurting extremely bad to the point where it hurt to swallow, so I decided enough is enough and I quit cold turkey

16 months !!
Hi everyone, it's been ages since I have been on this site but I wanted you all to know that I am a non smoker!!! 16 months now since I gave up and it's not been easy. I put on weight, developed borderline diabetes etc but I can honestly ask myself why I didn't give up sooner. there are no smelly clothes

Hi everyone, I gave up smoking 2 weeks and 4 days ago. I was really poorly with a chest infection and I was really scared with the wheezing in my chest, that I thought "why the hell " am I still trying to inhale nicotine, so I've gone cold turkey since then. I feel so much better, no wheezing at all

Still going strong! (Cold and flu feelings :( )
So I quit cold turkey halfway through Monday, It's friday now and I'm still going great! I'm not longer getting quite so emotional or fidgety, and in fact things feel great! I took a cd out of the cd player and realised I could smell the heat of the cd and the player, and I was like "Woah!", then I ran

Smoke smell on others after quitting
Hi everyone. I need some advice. I have quit smoking by using a e cig and going to a hypnotherapy session. I was a heavy smoker of 40 a day and have now not touched a cigarette for 3 months. However, I have the most huge cravings sometimes but I bash them away and power through! My question is this

4 months today.. still going strong
Can't believe another month has ticked by. Folks it gets easier , There are occasional waves of desire and need, but these pass very quickly. These craving weaken as the date when I last put a white stick in my mouth and lit it get further and further away. "Do I want just one more to see, one more wont

Quitting can be easy, ish..lol
The key is to remove your desire to smoke. Allen carr's easy way to quit smoking explains it very well. Also I realised that the withdawral is nothing more than a very mild version of a hangover. And if you can cope with a hangover for a couple of days without having a drink to delay the hangover then

Smoking is not a Habit
Smoking is an addiction and too many people say and write that it is the hardest addiction to beat. This is not true. There are no physical withdrawal aches or pains. We are easily distracted from thinking about lighting up. The hardest part of quitting is a sense of emptiness. Surely we can endure

Saying farewell...
Not to you lovely people but on this beautiful sunny day my family and i are going to say farewell to our mum. There are obviously mixed emotions but also the relief that (hopefully) my quit means I will not have to suffer the progressive and debilitating illness that took her life. Mum knew years ago

New Pathways Part 7
So, we've established some irrefutable truths in this journey: 1. 90% to even 100% of smokers, from a cognitive perspective, at some stage don't want to be. That includes those who don't want to quit but wish they had never started. 2. Nicotine has only a minor role to play in the overall battle.

Different behaviours & circumstances release "feel good" chemicals in our brain...seratonin, dopamine, oxytocin & endorphins. To some degree, depending on how & why you smoke all of these feel good chemicals can be triggered by smoking. Subsequently a pathway is developed in your brain to stimulate

Newbie to things like this.
Hi guys just wanted to say I'm new on here and I have been 4 days without a cigarette since I started vaping. I had tried the Vape pen in the past with only the tobacco flavour that came with it and I didn't rate it. I have since been re introduced to them with all the flavours and mechanical mods available
