Just thought I'd say hi. X
Still nicotine free and loving it. Post quit weight (68lbs !!!!! 😱) lost and am now fitter and healthier than ever. I retired this year as my back is still giving me problems, I spend my time in the gym and making jewellery using seed beads. Quitting wasn't easy, I had my up's and down's just the same

A sad day indeed
Today I have learned that a beautiful friend has died. This amazing lady dedicated her life to caring for the sick and elderly. She lay with people to comfort them in their last hours and gave herself to the needs of others without thought to herself. Today a beautiful person has been cruelly been taken

Coughing, wheezing,,need sleep
Hi all, I'm back! So I'm happy to say that I've been smoke-free for 5 months. However, I still have a big problem though, I continue to cough on & off during the day, but my biggest problem is waking up @ 3 or 4 am to use the bathroom ,then the endless coughing begins. Soon after the 20 minute coughing

Turning the corner
Hi all. After 3 months of whinging on about my cough I can finally tell you some good news. The background is I finally quit smoking the day I went to A&E very short of breath, 11 weeks ago. I had to wait until antibiotics were well out of my system before I could have spirometry, which was just over

HELP!!!
So it's been awhile and today I'm feeling so bad....all I want to do is go to the shop to get a box of fags and smoke one after the other. Last night I also felt this way but said no I'll get last this. I need ye're advice. My GP took holidays and never wrote me up for a repeat prescription for champix

WHY STOP SMOKING?
Some initial facts and figures About 100,000 people in the UK die each year due to smoking. Smoking-related deaths are mainly due to cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart disease. About half of all smokers die from smoking-related diseases. If you are a long-term smoker, on

WISH I HAD OF SOONER
Hello to my friends that are trying so hard to give up the addiction of cigarettes.This is Short Breath I'm 61 and very unlikely going to make it to my 65th birthday. It's not going to be an easy journey to quit smoking, and you may not succeed the first time, but the bottom line is, IT WILL KILL YOU

1 months smoke and e-cigarette free!
So pleased that I'm now 1 month free from horrid smoking and nicotine! Feeling a little better each day....anxiety is still horrible though. Today is bittersweet as although it has been 1 month since I gave up smoking...it has also been 1 year since I lost someone very close to me from cancer. My boyfriends

Improving COPD

Step 1 - ashtrays gone!!
Hi I just joined this community today, looking for motivation to stop smoking - I am diagnosed COPD, which should be motivation enough, but after 40 years as a smoker and a reluctant retirement a couple of years ago, I have been struggling with a 'what's the point?' feeling about life & stopping. Today

5 weeks (10days nic free)
5 weeks ago I was ready. Patch on, determination at the forefront of my mind. I have tried several times to quit before, but always felt I was 'giving something I enjoyed up' This time it was for me. I wanted to feel better, smell better and be less anxious. I used the clear niquitin patches for 25
