    Hi, my name is Robbie (female) and I live in Australia. I Googled 'quit smoking forums' and didn't find much in Australia, so have ended up here; I guess the journey off nicotine is much the same the world over anyway! I have stopped smoking a few times especially this year and mostly just last a few days or weeks...my best effort was 40 days before a 'friend' offered me a cigarette and I stupidly took it and smoked it. I've been using a nicotine spray in the mouth which seems to help although I have only stopped three days ago. My biggest problem is terrible depression when I'm off the cigarettes. I basically cry a lot and feel very low in mood and spirits, so of course this is happening again but this time I'm going to 'tough it out' as best I can. I don't have any support people around me and it gets very hard at times. My addict brain tells me just to go and buy a packet, because unfortunately they do help lift the depression temporarily, but I have a multitude of health problems related to too many years of smoking. Already I find my breathing is better, but I'm very, very tearful! I mentioned it to my doctor during my last attempt but he didn't seem particularly interested and wasn't helpful. I'm sure others would have had this depression, I'm not especially irritable, just crying a lot most days. Any thoughts from other quitters? Thanks

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
