I stopped smoking last year and shared some of my experiences in /r/stopsmoking, which was one of the few places on Reddit that actually helped me. I hope this place can grow large and active enough to help other people quit the stinky sticks.

I started smoking again in March this year.

But today I’m quitting again. it’s 15.20 here and I haven’t smoked yet today. I hope I can stay off the smokes for good this time, but I have a stressful elweek ahead of me, so I’m a bit worried I’m going to fail.

Edit: I’m actually surprised how many people have replyed to my post, I guess this community has some lurkers even though there aren’t many subscribers. Thank you for the positive thoughts, everybody! 🤗

    I didn’t even make it through a full day. I’ve smoked a couple of cigarettes every day since I was supposed to quit. It’s a lot less than usual, but I’m not smoke free… I don’t feel the nicotine replacement products are having the effect I had hoped for and I’m having trouble ditching the cigarettes after a meal. I’ll have to keep trying, but this is harder than I expected 😕

        I talked to my counselor today, and she said not to worry and just keep cutting down and work on the few cigarettes I still have trouble quitting (those after a meal). So I’m still quitting just not as quickly as I expected…
