I’ve officially been smoke free for three weeks! I am also having cravings on and off here and there that I’m not sure how to cope with sometimes. But I have not smoked! I try to chew on a piece of nicotine gum it helps for a little while. What doesn’t make sense is I keep saying to myself maybe I can have a cigarette and on the other hand I also tell myself remember how discusting it was when I did relapse before and had five horrible cigarettes. 😩 not sure why I feel terrible right now when I should be celebrating my quit. Any support would help right now thanks so much

I am so happy to be smoke free for two weeks🎉🥳no longer will I ever let cigarettes control me! It feels so good to be feeling healthy and most of all to be free!! Whenever I get a craving I say nope (not one puff ever). I keep myself busy with exercise, hard candy, music anything to distract myself. If you’re struggling to quit just remember you got this too! Your strong! You’re worth it! You can do this! Just believe in yourself and you can do anything you put your mind to!💪💪💪🩷💕🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳

Yes I made it to day 10 of not smoking! I feel great, I still have my moments believe me! It hasn’t been perfect but I’m so glad to not smoke anymore! Im going to continue to stay 💪 and keep moving forward!for those of you struggling: you got this!! You are strong too!! Don’t give up!! Remember quitting smoking is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones!🚭🚭🚭🚭🚭

I made it to one week smoke free!! Caught a bit of a cold but still feeling great about my quit!! I feel stronger than ever💪 that I know this is my last time quitting this is going to stick!! There’s no turning back not one puff not one smoke ever!! For those of you struggling you got this!! You can do it!! Believe in yourself!! Don’t stop trying!!

Just a quote I found online I thought might be helpful to some of you struggling! “Quitting smoking is tough. But so are you. You have the strength within you to overcome this habit”. I’m currently on day four of my quit journey and wish everyone the best! Stay strong! Stay smoke free🚭

I’m on day 2 of being smoke free!! I feel really good right now, but as the days go by I start to feel really depressed, sad, downright angry. It’s as if in my mind I’m fighting this huge monster! The cravings start to hit hard! I’m 38 currently taking 21 mg nicotine patch. I’ve tried to quit and started back up because my emotions became too much, definitely need to work on that! I have bipolar disorder and severe depression along with anxiety. I’m on quite a few medications so my regular doctor can not put me on chantix. I also spoke with my psychiatrist today about trying to put me on bupropion and she completely dismissed the idea she said it doesn’t work and it would make my anxiety worse, she told me to stick with the patch for as long as I needed. I just felt lost like she wasn’t listening to me , I mean I’m already on medication for depression and my bipolar and my anxiety. Does anyone out there ever try bupropion and did it help them? Or any tips to get me through the worst of it would be great!! Any support would be helpful!

I was 12 days in smoke free! And should have never done it but yesterday smoked five cigarettes, and let me tell you they were so horrible and disgusting! I even felt horrible afterwards. I woke up this morning and put on a nicotine patch! I have quit and smoked again on and off for so long I know, I just know I’m so ready for good to get away from these horrible cancer sticks which I’ve been struggling with for years now. Even though I’m back at day 1 I feel really confident that I can do this this time around! There’s no turning back I’m done! The crazy part about all this is I was feeling really good health wise it was my mind and emotions that got the best of me!

I’m currently on day 11 of my quit smoking journey! I’d like to share that health wise I’m doing better and I feel better! On the other hand I do have bi-polar and struggle with depression really bad, my emotions have been all over the place. I’m crying one minute then angry the next. It’s almost like I’m fighting a war with cigarettes still even though I’m not smoking, if you know what I mean. Cravings have become so overwhelming. Has anyone with mental issues had any of these things going on as well, I’m just looking for some help. I am currently using 21 mg nicotine patches , I’ve quit so many times I can even count. Struggling a lot here in need of some support. I used to smoke a pack a day I’m 38 years old.

I made it one whole week! I’ve tried so many times to quit I’m hoping this quit sticks! I’m staying strong but experiencing sadness and cravings at the same time anyone else experiencing this at a week in?

I’ve reached day 5 of quitting smoking and feel incredibly exhausted all day long! Is this normal to feel this way? I’m currently using 21mg nicotine patches to get through and make this quit stick! I’ve tried to quit so many times before, this one is going to be my last quit! Any tips on how to feel more energized? Or is this just a normal feeling? I don’t remember if I ever felt this sluggish all day the last time I quit.

Yay I’ve made it to day 3 of quitting smoking!! I have tried so many times to quit and this time around I feel great right now! I feel better each day health wise. I feel stronger this time as well. I really hope this feeling lasts!!

Today is day 1 of quitting smoking. I’ve tried several times of stopping and restarting I would like this time to be different I want to stop for good! I’m currently using nicotine patches, I have gum, and hard candy on hand for my cravings. Does anyone have any other helpful tips on staying smoke free. I also downloaded the quit now app.
