Well done Chicks I think the Sticks have given up This is Easy Peasy

The stark difference from heatwave in Australia to ice storm in the US! I hope you're all staying safe! UK here so just misty, cloudy rainy days. I can't remember when I last saw the sun! Stay safe all! I'm glad you're looking after the wildlife! There are 3 squirrels that chase each other in my garden. I find monkey nuts everywhere, they're well fed and I love how cheeky they are!

Mmmmm chicks are doing it solo.

Congratulations @Charmaine H on your fabulous Quit 3 years is a massive achievement

Thank you for the compliment, @SD2026. Three weeks is an accomplishment too, regardless of how little the time span. I feel amazing. Be patient and you will feel that way too.

3 years is an amazing achievement!! A huge leap from my 3 weeks this Thursday lol Congratulations @Charmaine H!

This Saturday will be exactly 3 years since I quit smoking!!!!

Hi everyone! In 16 days on 01/29/26 I will be 5 years smoke free! I was able to quit cold turkey and haven’t picked up a cigarette or had a craving since. For anyone who is struggling through the first few months of quitting, you GOT this! Just keep reminding yourself of the reasons you’re quitting. Whether it be health, finances, family, whatever. Those reasons matter and you can make it! A little 5 year update on me. I’ve been smoke free (obviously), my daughter has not only graduated high school but will be graduating college early this fall with 2 bachelors degrees (SUPER PROUD), I’ve just celebrated a year dating my bf in December, I hit the gym about 5 days a week and after a long and frustrating road I’ve lost 75 lbs so far. I’m only about halfway through that journey but still…all good things going on!

**Knowledge vs. (will)Power – A Tale as Old as the World.** If "smoking kills" is a scientific fact and printed on every pack, why are tobacco products still in demand? There are no instruction labels on cigarette packs, yet we consume them. Who influences you to smoke? What power sustains this toxic cycle? The willpower method is more of a "heart" approach: we sacrifice what we love for what we love more—career, health, family, etc. You don’t need a high IQ to remind yourself what truly matters to your heart. (Think of how muscles grow: through damage and repair cycles.) Is the willpower method—the "sacrifice and suffer" approach—the only way to resist temptation? The answer to IQ vs. BMI (Body Mass Index) is EQ (wisdom). \------------- **What if nicotine could talk?** What would it say? Are they truly our enemy, or are they misunderstood victims caught in the crossfire? Are they building a mighty fortress inside our bodies, or are they trapped in a forced labor camp, waiting to escape? Discover the power behind the nicotine slavery , will you judge them once you know the truth? Free Browser Game To Overcome Nicotine Addiction. ------------ The story is presented as a story-driven, short(from 10 to 20 mins) game designed to help smokers quit—without relying on willpower. Instead, it encourages open-mindedness, empathy, and patience. Everything you need to know to quit smoking (or grow out of it, much like a baby grows out of needing their mother’s milk) is already within you. Here’s an analogy: **Imagine a giant jigsaw puzzle representing your self-confidence.** When you became a nicotine slave, the light went out, and the puzzle shattered into pieces. But the pieces are still there—you just need patience and guidance (whether from someone, a story, or both) to put it back together. ------------- **The game has three stages:** 1) Preparation – A quick intro with three "boring" facts and an introduction to the nicotine monster(s). 2) Behind the Curtain – A deeper look at the hidden tricks and struggles of quitting. 3) The Maze – A timed mini-game where you race to freedom. Be the fastest to escape! The game has all the elements of a great story (^_^) — fresh perspectives, life-changing insights, unexpected twists, and characters who evoke empathy in smokers and leave a lasting impact. (Im not a game developer so go easy with technical issues) ------------ **My Nicotine Story:** My name is Misha. My great-grandfather smoked (RIP), my grandfather smoked (RIP), and my father smoked (credit to me). Personally, I smoked for over a decade, then quit for years. I'm here to share a creative solution for struggling smokers through a **free web-based game (no downloads or sign-ins required).** **Thanks for your attention**, and may your journey to freedom from nicotine be joyful and exciting!

To all the newbies who are active or lurking, I can tell you that quitting smoking is definitely something you can do and it is worth the early struggles. I quit after roughly 20 years as a smoker, and the last few years of my smoking life was spent struggling with short quits, trying to cut down, relapsing, etc. What helped me was joining a site like this and reaching out for support and reading about others' experiences in their quits. I also tried to take it one week, day, hour, minute at a time.....whatever it took. Don't worry about craves that might happen a day or two from now. Just focus on pushing through and defeating any craves that you may be currently experiencing.. Each crave you fight through makes your quit stronger. Quitting smoking is very doable and I encourage anyone who wants to quit to take the leap. It is worth it.

10 months of freedom!!!!!!!!

I have 300 days smoke free today. Just felt like tooting my own horn a bit!

Double celebration on Sunday just gone. My Birthday and completed 7 months quit. Best birthday present to myself

Nice quit, babs! 7 is a great number! And I love the fact that you are no longer counting. I remember when I was in that place in my previous quit. It helps me to know I will get there again. And this time, I will STAY there!!!

LOVE reading these. Makes me stronger and stronger on my quit. Thanks MQ
