Smoke Free - Quit Smoking Now 17+

I’m 36, and I’ve been a smoker for about 24 years. I’ve quit a few times in my life, no longer than a few months at a time, and I’ve always picked it back up. I quit May 4th, 2020, I lasted 3 days and started again, I smoked for a week and a half more. Now, I’m approximately 17 hours away from one week smoke free. Yay! I feel great.
Now, here’s where the app has helped me. I’m still in the free period, but I’m definitely paying to keep the service. This week I’ve been tempted twice to have “just one”. I kept telling myself that I’d just have one cigarette when I got there, and that would be it, I’d be ok.... on my way to my first outing, as I was driving there telling myself that crap above, I remember that this app said, somewhere I read you just have to commit to never having one again, you have to just tell you’re self that... and I did when those thoughts came in... and I didn’t have one! Then my friend came over one night, she’s a heavy smoker, we always smoke together, I told her that I’d unlock the door so she could just come in, so I didn’t have to meet her outside with smoke, and she did, and it went great, and I’m proud to say that I’m a non-smoker!!! I’ll NEVER have a cigarette again. Thank you to the app for the help, the mental help was exactly what I needed, and every time i say I’ll never smoke again, it feels really good, and ok to be done with that chapter. Good luck guys. YOU CAN QUIT TOO!

I’m using the app in conjunction with a medication, bupropion, and trying to busy my hands and positive tastes with peppermint sticks, as well as listening to the audio book “Allen Carr’s The Easy Way to Quit Smoking”. I’m really enjoying the app, but I will say it was impossible for me to quit with just the app alone. I’m still getting a ton of cravings, but the app is helping me see how much positive progress I’m making. Before, I was chain smoking, and I never before thought I’d get this far. I’m using a ton of tactics at once, but I think the biggest part you need to understand is in the book. The instructions are 1- stop smoking NOW. Recognize how much nicotine is keeping you enslaved and vow to stop being a slave to that nicotine. 2- be happy about it. Don’t mope that you can’t have another, but rejoice in knowing you can have your life back! The second part is why I have failed so many times in the past. I used to worry about being able or not to keep off cigarettes, but now, it’s only been 4 days and 13 hours, but I KNOW NOW that no matter what, not one more cigarette will be poisoning my body, and I’m very happy about it 😁 this app is very good about staying positive with the newfound freedom from nicotine 🥰 thank you

This app gave me accountability when I felt like I was on the fence about quitting. I found out I was pregnant (very early, around 5 weeks or so) and knew I would need to quit. Tapered off to the best of my ability, until the 8 week "morning" sickness kicked in and smoking wasn't even an option, could hardly eat let alone smoke! Made it all through my pregnancy fairly ill so that wasn't the problem. It was AFTER I had my son. I immediately felt better and became obsessed with wanting to smoke again. In the meantime, I had downloaded this app at the early 5 wk mark as a way to track my progress. I began to use it (resist a craving? Have a craving? Mark it down on the app!) I was able to see how long I had gone without smoking. (Yes, I had a great head
Start due to pregnancy, but I really only paid close attention to afterward) Anyhow...this app gave me accountability. If I have an appointment and the doc asks me when I quit smoking, I have the answer. This app tells you how much money you have saved (which is a brilliant addition, though I'm not really sure where all my new savings have gone lol!) how many days of life you've recovered....it's just a really nice tracker, easy to use, and FREE!!! Highly recommended, best of luck.
