You are the one making this quit happen.

Do what it takes.

Is something else guiding your quit?

Then, don't dishonor it.

Ive smoked since I was a teenager. I started chantix 2 wks ago . I do have cravings at certain times and especially when i go out on my deck or in my yard. There are things i feel better about not smoking Im just hoping these cravings start to go away. 

Good morning my dear fellow Exers.  I have posted quite a lot of blogs about celebrating milestones because there are new milestones reached all the time when we kick tobacco/nicotine to the curb.  Today the milestone I am celebrating is that I have just

Has been a humdinger. I have had multiple medical things and some very traumatic moments that in the past would have resulted in me smoking. I would have run for my porch and my cigarettes and sat outside and cried and smoked until I had no more cigarette

I really really really like this meme below for some reason when I came across it this morning it hit me that it was the perfect one to post! Quitting smoking/Vaping or dipping is EXtremely difficult to quit BUT boy oh boy it's most definitely worth it on

Well it's another bread baking day I'm glad I got it started EXtra early so I'll be able to get outside after lunch! It was a chilly start at +2°C but it's supposed to warm up to possibly +18°C that'll be awesome, we may even get a shower or two which we

I told myself when the packs I had left were gone that was it. I have 3 packs left. My quit day is 8 days away. I planned my quit day for the day after my physical. 
Seems my quit day will be Monday May 6. So I’ll be at Dr on day 4. Maybe this is best and

Im going to post this because i need all the help i can get. 

im using patches and gum also watched a lot of quit smoking videos on youtube. And read three quitting smoking books, including Allan Carrs easy way. Im also doing a quit journal to keep track o

But today was supposed to be. I was doing well... until I wasn't.  And, so it is. I've never wholeheartedly quit before. So, after far too many years - here's to health, saving money and a sense of humor through it all. Lies, all lies.   I'm also trying

So I believe that is my quit date.  I have to talk with my ex coach to confirm that. But if it’s wrong it’s only by 1 day either way. But pretty sure this is an accurate. So today is day 18. For some context I’m 37yo. I’ve smoked  pretty regularly since 1

Today I celebrate 10 years of freedom from smoking!  In the beginning, I didn't think that I would make it.  But I hung in there - one day at a time - and after awhile it started to become easier.  

So if you are a new quitter, give it the time that it tak

I had a horrible night last night couldn’t sleep thinking about smoking. I was very close to getting my clothes on and going and buying a pack. It was 1 o’clock in the morning. I tried all my tricks and nothing was working. finally had to puff on my nicot

I've been thinking of this for a while now and I've Committed to May 1,2024 to be my quit date.  I am very excited and ready, just ordered my patches and they'll be here tomorrow.  I finally feel ready because it's my decision and I'm not being hounded, i

Well I was tempted by you when I was 11 years old and I never left you alone. You have been my best friend for many years. You help my nerves and keep me from killing people and I am tired of not being able to breath and it's getting worse so now it's tim

It’s time to say farewell!! You have been hanging around to long and it’s time to say goodbye for good. You made your way back in my life after I quite for 13 years now, so adios. 

I forgot to check back in yesterday which marked my 10 years. I am a day late but no longer a dollar short. I have saved so much not spending money on cigarettes. They are $10-$11 a pack where I am at. It kills me to watch my mom spend that kind of money

I keep saying how the days weeks and months seems to zoom right on by!路‍♀️ I'm hoping May sticks around for awhile full of gorgeous sunshiny days plus enough rain to keep the drought and forest fires away and keep everything green and beautiful! I'm hopin

I often awake between two and three a m. Previously I would smoke a cigarette and go back to sleep. Now I am looking for another distraction that will relax me and keep me on point. 

It's easier saying it than doing it. Whatever, however, and whenever led us smokers to indulge in any tobacco products, the answers to this list are endless and various for some of us. The momentum of smoking or using tobacco products over the years, comp

Seems like alot of things trigger me. I never realized just how much I was smoking.  Sometimes out of habit or boredom. Now I've quit its like learning to do everything new without smoking as a crutch. Grounding meditation and deep breathing have really h
