Keep going Evelyn and eventually you will come out the other side. Smoke and you go through this again and again. This is the one. Shout, scream, SOS all the time on here. Just get through this :)

Hi Crush, Big congratulations for cutting down so quickly. Now in your own time how about jumping that gap completely and letting go of those last cigarettes. I promise we will catch you when you do and if you stick by us we will all hold out a helping hand.

We all chose to smoke and stick to it. When you first started it never became easy to you. You had to work to make it feel natural. You had to work to become a full time smoker. All the discomfort of coughing, head spinning, feeling sick didn't stop you from carrying on. Going around and around with the constant cravings never stop you. Now years of conditioning later you have now decided the you want to quit. Now it's about pay the price for the choices that you made because you smoked or pay an even bigger price later on for not going through this now. It sounds harsh and brutal but this is completely true! Which price do you want to pay? You had to retrained your brain and body to smoke. Now put that same effort into retraining yourself to stop. You can do it. Just put the same effort in. Just as it got easier in time to smoke and it became natural,a part of you and you could never see the end. IF you stop you will get to the point that you will look at smokers and it won't look natural or right to you. Further along it does get easier. Life becomes normal again. Remember it's your choice. It always has been.

Awesome Stewie!!!!

I don't really think anything of it now. They do their thing, I'm happy doing mine ;) Stewie you will get there. Just keep going forward.

Cold turkey work for me too. You know the method that works now you need to work at stopping seeing smoking as your crutch :)

Evelyn. Cold turkey is not always the answer. We support you no matter what. Use this place to be accountable to you, if you stay away, the thoughts of "just one" "no~one will know" will linger. Plus there is nothing wrong with shouting out each day. It is a massive achievement.

I can't wait for this weekend to put our up. Love this time of year ;) Look forward to the pictures. Will post some at one point.

I hope today is a better day for you Tiffany?! Be proud. You got through yesterday :)

I was definitely scared of both. Smoking was me. I hated it most of the time. But there were times it felt like it was the rule to smoke. I could never cope completely without it. I tried and failed so many times. Confidence that I could break free was at an all time low. Of course I now know that I don't have to smoke. There really is nothing to be scared of. You just have to mean it. Things change by their selves in time. Normality does resume. The only thing I really look back on now, is why did it take me so long to get it. The control was mine. No need to be scared ;)

Congratulations Leanna he is beautiful :)

Brilliant well done :)

Congratulations ;)

Well done Tiffany :)

Well done Sarge! That is awesome :) (P.s I can't post pictures anymore either :( )

Welcome Andrew, take a sports bottle filled with cold water everywhere you go, it really helps. Running or jumping jacks helped me too! You can do this, stick close to here.

Well done Gina :)

Welcome Gina, this is definitely your sticky quit! Stay close these guys will not see you fall :)

Happy birthday Saz, you are such a gentle soul. Glad I have crossed paths :)

Congratulations Boo!!! :)

Well done Marlene. You are doing great :)

So sorry Nancy. My thoughts are with you x

Welcome aboard Marlene, I quit cold turkey, I couldn't do it any other way. But we are all different. The main goal is to make it through each day, so day 1 is nearly at a close, onward to day 2!!

We all hear what you are saying. Sit tight, it does get better. Life is so much better smoke free ;)
