I quit in May of 2018 but last year was the first full calendar year (January through December) I've gone without a cigarette since I was 15 years old.
It's still hard. I thought it would've gotten easier by now and I thought I wouldn't want them anymore but I still do. I even hate the smell now but still have cravings.
I guess I'm healthier now at least. I started jogging last month and my lungs are still trashed, which is discouraging. But here's to hoping they get better. Cheers!

Oh my God well done!!! I promise it does get easier, the cravings get fewer and you just keep getting healthier and richer.

Ditto! Quit in July of 2018, I had been smoking for half my life at that point.

Great job @op on staying with it! Keep it up!

Keep it up! It’s been 17 yrs for me. Sometimes I even dream I’ve started smoking again and when I wake up, I’m so relieved.

I haven't had a cigarette in over 5 years. For me the smell is still appealing, and now and then I get an urge to get a pack. 1/

I used 14mg patches for a week and then cut them in half and used them for at least another week. You can do it.

I quit in February of 2011. Started again in November of 2019. Quitting again now. I still get a buzz off smoking, so I don't think >>

>> it's much more than just the actual habit, not the nicotine addiction.

Good job. Almost 47 years smoke-free here. It feels great.
itsBuddy
Goodness. Congrats.
BadWolfDivides
I went about a month last year then fell off the wagon, (mental health stuff). Planning on no cigs tomorrow. Any advice?

Vaping can help with the habit side and nicotine also. Help me quit (but I do vape still). Would recommend tobacco flavours to start.
prophet002
Yeah I am very thankful that I was able to quit smoking.

It helps if you never start. ??

I encourage the hop-ons. Good on everyone.

You do know that people sharing how long they have been cigarette free helps encourage people to quit right? Shows they can kick the habit.

You're a me monster

What? I am actually extremely uncomfortable getting praise. When I cook dinner I brush off people telling me it was good. But I am about 1/

encouraging people to quit something like smoking, and people sharing their own overcoming it. It's not about "Me" in that instance. But us
