When does my exhale and mouth stop smelling like an ashtray?
Hi Everybody! I am in the 4th day, 12 hours. After many tries & failing, this is probably the best thing that happened. I had a cold that lead to the worst case of bronchitis imaginable. I couldn't talk on the phone without spasms of coughing and bringing up gunk. 2 rounds of Antibiotics and Steroids

The following post was taken from our tubbys post a couple of months ago. Think for a moment of your life as a tightly woven piece of fabric. Each thread represents your life events and experiences, and running alongside the many "life" threads are threads of a finer gauge. They are so fine in fact

I want to try again. Words for anyone who's thinking of going back.
This post was written by one of our members (Katdol) about 10 months ago. It's just a word of advice for us all. I quit smoking for 7 months cold turkey and relapsed. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I have been smoking (heavily) for a month now. And I'm right back to coughing and wheezing just

Hubby smoker
I gave up in 2008 diagnosed with copd soon after. Did have a couple of blips on the way. But finally gave up. Hubby kept saying he would give up he's not allowed to smoke in the house which thought would help me. But last year I was taken into hospital twice and I think it was the wake up call he needed

Hit by intense cravings out of the blue depression setting in.
I am about 4 and 1/2 months smoke free (cold turkey). I've been feeling great the last few weeks but last night as i lay in bed to go to sleep i was hit with intense cravings. So much so it started to make me feel sad in a way I've never felt before. Almost a deep sense of hopelessness. I managed to

A very special celebration!
Today my baby turned 13 years old! He's my main reason for quitting. My son is handicapped and also can not speak. He needs me for everything. I use to look at smoking as a way to cope with the hard days and the stress of raising a child with disabilities. I have now seen the light. It's amazig the excuses

My journey so far....hope that it helps others.....
So here I am on Friday....bored out my head.......so I am going to write about my experience in the hope that it may help even one person, I spent years tied to cigarettes. I desperately wanted to stop, but time went by, making me feel weak, powerless, and beaten down, and then anger set it....which

Day 9
(Day 9 of cold turkey and not smoked 72 fags). I’ve got 9 days under my belt now, and although I’m not even halfway done yet, it’s still good. Today's been a bit rough. One of those days when all you feel is stress, anger and frustration. I am not used to handling those emotions without a fag. Had

Breathing symptoms
Welcome! I smoked a pack a day since I was about 20. When I was about 50, I quit. When I was about 57, I went through a divorce and started smoking again. Now I'm 60, and I finally quit again. It's been about 1 month. Now I'm feeling short of breath, wheezing at times, and kind of feeling a nervousness
