Good for you @Oslo for realising while you are still young that this addiction isn't worth giving it anymore of your time. You have already tried and failed lots of times, that says alot about the fact you are serious about quitting. Now has to be the commitment from you that no matter how bad the craving are at first you have to do anything else but smoke. Have a look around watch some of the videos and get yourself in the right mind set to quit, we will be with you all the way

Congratulations on your 5 years smoke free

Yay! 9 months is amazing

Totally understand. It's a horrible addition! Think if you hold tight, you will never have to deal with this issue ever again

Yeah, I struggled with sleep for awhile. It's not too bad now. Just getting very vivid dreams. Stick with it the early days are rough just remember nobody dies from a craving but smoking can kill you!

Wow! That is amazing Jim. Thank you for stopping by and giving us this inspiring post.

Hi @KdadNice to see you here. This is a tough process but a worthwhile one. Try to do as others have said. Drink loads of water it really does help with the cravings. Remember with each craving your body is healing. You can do this

@intoxicated yodayeah there is definitely a link with me. I think because I have been off work this week I have been drinking more caffeine. Apart from the morning (which i need to wake me up) i just drink water in work. Today i have been drinking just water and feel alot better

Bacon is life. I couldn't get ridded of it in my diet I really struggled yesterday evening, but realised later on that I had drank quite afew cups of tea ( I can't give it up altogether but have cut down alot). Once I realised, I started to drink some water and felt better. Ended up taking myself to bed earlier and today has been better so far. I also noticed the taste of ciggies in my mouth, so whether some tar was clearing from my lungs which contributed to the strong craving along with too much caffeine, im not sure, I also had a strong smoking dream last night, that was fun. Still smoke free though, today is another day

Well done @KELon your 4 months. Awesome work!!!

Hey @johnny5nice to hear from you. I feel different this time. So far its not been too bad, I dont want to jinx it though. @KEL yeah, the experiment is well and truly over, that little niggle in the back of my mind has been answered. Not going to fall for it again. @AceWhitenever a true word said! It really is a bitch

Thank you for the welcome @KELglad to be back here and nice to have you here too. Thanks @Krislockdown certainly changed things, we also had the hottest and longest nice weather in the UK than we have had in along time, that didn't help either. But no excuses. Another lesson learnt. Thanks for your kind words @intoxicated yodalove the name by the way! Thanks @jillarguard is definitely back up and I will sort out my ticker and quit day, just need to get back up to speed in using this site. I will get there lol! Hi @Doreensfreenice to hear form you.
