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

Hello everyone, Never in my puff (excuse the pun) joined a forum of any description, so why now? 10 days and counting. Wow! Writing it down is strange. Not completely nicotine free as using an E-cig and the very lowest liquid - 0.3 mg. It's definitely helped me out for the first few days, which

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

Frustrated:(
I've been 1 month without cigarettes and e cigarettes and I don't feel any better? I was expecting to feel healthier and look better but my skin has got worse and I am so achey and tired and anxious all the time, still getting shortness of breath and headaches and I've had all the tests I can, everything

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
Hi all you quitters 😀 I thought you may be interested in this small tale from a reformed smoker. Some 2 years ago, just after quitting after 40 years, I was diagnosed as having COPD (mild to moderate emphysema) I was particularly happy about this...strange you might say?.?? Well it turned out to be

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

Does anyone else feel like this?
Anyways I've
quit
drinking
for 5 months but symptoms of nervousness and uneasiness don't seem to want to go away completely yet :( I changed my diet Don't watch anything scary (because I can't anymore I get all my symptoms back if I do) which is really annoying but it happens.

Giving up
Two years ago I started having panic attacks on the way to work, eventually so bad that I had a nervous breakdown and
quit
that job. I started
drinking
everyday to numb how I felt. After being clean and sober and mostly panic free for 7.5 months last year, I relapsed.

Day 9
I never completely realised how tough quitting would be. I always had this belief that if I could get to day 3 or 4 I would be OK and once the physical addiction is done, the rest would sort of take care of itself, haha, yeah right! Even though it feels like I have the crazy cravings under control,

Breath still feels short. Still anxious and worried. 4 months out, wished I felt better.
Hello again. Over 4 months quit and this weird breath thing still persists. I'm heading out to buy some Mucinex now and praying I haven't done such horrible damage to myself that I will feel this way forever. To be clear: my shortness of breath isn't me gasping for air, but rather a strange feeling with
