It's been 25 days now and I feel amazing. :-)
I even lost weight. :-)

Good for you mate Happy to here that you've got rid of this habbit Keep rocking.

Pure addict here

David,great you lost some weight!!

Tho I thought it's opposite,you GET some weight when quite smoking...

Congrats dude! I gained weight when I quit, but that made me start working out and I lost a LOT of weight. But I've been having problems (again) with my back for the past year or so and I've gained some back.

Never started

What method are you guys using. I don't smoke I'm just curious.

Plus another interesting video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ4n7g31RlE

I smoke but I honestly cant quit at the moment, to much going on in my life. Im so stressed. :\

Yep,stress

congrats and great news you lost weight I actually gained 5 kilos the last time I stopped (Jan 17 2007).

It was the 3rd and last time I attempted to quit smoking. From my experience the easiest way was to stop from one day to the next (but with 2 months of mental preparation).

If you still sometimes feel bad not smoking or get second thoughts I'd recommend Allen Carr's Easy Way to stop smoking. You might not agree with all of what's in the book but it's a great help. I actually read all 3 times when I stopped. The first 2 times failed because I thought I could still smoke on special occasions.... and well one cigarette led to the next and I got hooked again.

Some people can handle it but I can't be a casual smoker, I get hooked at once again....

Are you already noticing that you are much fitter, sleep better and have more energy? Great feeling to be rid of those smokes.... BTW... the best moments to stop are when you are having stress!!!

Yeah, people usually gain weigt, but I started exercising and lifting weight at the same time and eating a lot healthier all at the same time.
I just hope I can keep it up!

you can, mate....it's all a mindset.
I quit smoking during the week when I work, cause that's when I'm most tired etc....but weekends, that's my let loose time. Junk food, parties, all of it
during the week I'm healthy, salads, early nights etc...
Gotta balance, ya know

I mean no offence to anyone by this but why would anyone smoke? Why would you voluntarily reduce your life expectancy? Never made sense to me.

Hold that thought ... it will stand you in good stead when you are older!

After our compulsory education had ended- my friends and i spent the summer smoking and drinking silly amounts. We were 16.

At the end of the summer, i stopped, it wasnt a "quit" situation really as i wasnt really hooked.
My two friends however were hooked, they've smoke around ten a day since.

Since then i've watched them go from broke to pennyless, and also some prety bad skin situations going on!!

Luckily i didnt have to quit, but remember guys- good things are worth putting in the effort for.

Good Luck to all, i look forward to reading all the "I quit!! No cigarettes for 6 months!" being posted here later

How's going Dave?

Hey man, i wish all of you quitters good luck.

Its possible, i stopped after smoking 10 years... so far i havent smoked in 1 year

Thanks for asking. It's going great!
Haven't smoked in more than a month now. I started lifting weights and running and have so much more energy now. I ran 10 minutes non stop this morning, which is a lot for me. :-)
I could barely run 2 minutes before I quit...

Thats a little more than a mile! Keep that up and you'll be in great shape in no time. Keep it up Dave

Keep it up Dave, never give up!
