1 year, 3 months and 13 days into my quit


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I haven't been on Quit Train for a while.  I used this board all the time when I quit on 18 April 2017 and I found the support so helpful.   I was just wondering how everyone is getting on.  I also though I would leave a message to the newbies to say it really does get easier.  I hardly think about it anymore, even when leaving airports after a flight - I would spark up as soon as I got outside!

 

For me the process was:

 

Week 1 - hell on earth!

Month 1 - as above!

After 2 months, I was still getting triggers when I got in the car, off a train etc

6 months - the triggers were fewer

9 months - as above

1 year - so chuffed and felt liberated

Now - I would never ever want to smoke again and the thought of it makes me feel rubbish

 

I was on 30 a day, so if I could do it, you all can!

 

Anyway, let me know how your quits are going.

 

Claire

Thanks Joe.

Just checking my smoke free app and it says the following:

 

Money saved:  £7251.00 (£5,639 per year)

Cigarettes not smoked:  14079.06

Time not spent smoking in days:  48.89

Life regained days: 117.33

 

We've had some nice holidays this year!

Clair thanks so much for giving us you update, it helps those of us are still moving through that first year.  Much of what you said above is true for me to this point -- and yes it is getting easier.

Hi Weegie - You will find it easier at the 1 year mark.  I am the same about the number of fags that I haven't smoked!  I bought my friend a packet yesterday and they were £12.45!!  Bonkers!

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.
