For good this time. I quit when I found out I was pregnant, for about a year altogether, but started up again when Evie was around 3 months. Recently I realised I was smoking around 5-10 a day which doesn't seem a lot but it's crept up from 1 or 2 on a night out to 1 in the evenings to several a day. So last week I decided to stop. And I did 😄 It's only been a week today but I'm not using any nicotine replacement therapy or whatever it's called. Here's hoping I can keep it up, eh? 😄

Good on ya, Sy. Ya have my support as well.

Thank you Scythey eyes

So yeah, it's been 3 weeks now 😄

Good on you, I feel for you - had given it up over 20 years ago now. Then my friends and relatives followed suit. What I did was that everytime I wanted a smoke, I would chew the thing up then spit it out - had it framely set in my mind how much I hated it, the way it tasted - the way it smelt. You have to hate it that much - it was the only way after 3 unsuccessful attempts with patches etcetra.
I wish you well, and I know you can do it 🙂 Cheers 🙂

When ever you wanna smoke, chow down on a carrot stick. I'm not kidding.

Thanks for the advice! Replacement does work, although I've been using the Nano disposable cigarettes. I probably have a couple of puffs every few days now on average which is great 😄

Hello

Quitting Smoking is a Brave Act, its not possible for every smoker to quit.
Keep up the good work by quitting bad habits.

Thanks

Keep it strong. I've quit for a month now. There's good and bad days. You just need to remember never smoke again and if you do that doesn't give you carte blanche to continue smoking. Treat it as an isolated incident and never smoke again!

I quit recently due to health complications, but cigarettes were really helpful sometimes for both the pain and the mental distraction from certain procedures. Weed helps a little, but being sick I honestly don't enjoy being high. If anything I want clarity.

I was thinking I might invest in a decent hookah piece ( to 'reward' myself for handling some things as well as a sub in for the mental distraction ) or maybe trying the Electronic cigs.

I quit smoking but turned into Electronic-cigarette! 🙁
it less harmful and great in taste.
I'm addicted.

WOW...!!!thats simply great..You can do it babe..!!keep it up..!!

Got a buddy with one of the electronic cigs. It works for him. I will repeat his advice. Read the reviews. Shop around. Don't let money be the deciding factor. Cheap tends to have more than one accurate definition. Good luck.I quit over 22 years ago. One of the best things I ever did.

I'm using an ecig right now. It really does work. In 3 days, I've only smoked 4 real cigarettes (ran out of oil).

Awesome, Syren! Just think of all the years of life given back to you! And no second-hand smoking for your baba. I'm really, really impressed with anyone who gives up smoking - just the willpower to make that decision can be really scary.

Hurrah!

Now you have an additional reason to quit smoking. If not for yourself, at least for your future child.

But please, elaborate on your mindset as you decided to experiment with drugs, because it doesn't make sense to me.
