My singing voice has improved dramatically in both reduced rasp/horseness and increased breath capacity. If you sing in any way whatsoever: for fun, a band, for church, in your car or shower, whatever - quitting smoking will have a major positive affect. Presenting #084 Doduo. See you Monday.

First time I ever passed 3 days. Tonight was hell, my brain could not stop thinking of smokes until I knew the tobacco shop (we have those here specifically for tobacco products) is closed. Until the last moment I was prepared to go and buy smokes. But I didn't. It was super freaking hard.

I used to smoke to pass the time, but time passes by regardless if I’m suffocating myself or not. I’ve had a good and bad moments but they’ve passed all the same. We got this. Not a single puff.

Your determination has to be steel. Do whatever you have to do to quit smoking. Cold turkey, patch, gum, hypnosis, whatever. Any of it is better than smoking cigarettes. Don't cut back. That's a lie. Stop! Let no one judge you, do what you gotta do to. Presenting #097 Hypno. See you tomorrow.

Got this yesterday. I gave up 2 weeks before my son was born. Not another puff!

Went to an Eve 6 concert last night. Heard every song for both openers and never lost my front spot because I never left to have a cigarette. People were stealth smoking/vaping trying to dodge the staff's eyesight. Concerts are better for non-smokers! Presenting #031 Nidoqueen. See you Monday.

This is what 30 years of smoking did to my teeth. Shame and embarrassment every time I went to the dentist/doctor. I never wanted this - but you can never just have one cigarette. Having had a helpful dentist do a lot of work to change the look of my teeth - I can honestly say, not another puff 🦷

5yr ⋅

Reached this milestone for the first time in years after multiple failed attempts. I’ve got a feeling I’m never, ever going back to smoking again.

ONE WEEK!! Feels like a very long week but also feels like how has it been a week? IYKYK. The patch helps a LOT. But, my brain can’t stop obsessing over this sub and thinking about smoking (I don’t want one per se but I think about not smoking. ping smoking) Like early days of grief from a breakup

100 days! This is the longest I’ve gone since I didn’t smoke! I’m enjoying clearer skin, the energy boost, and all the extra cash! Stick with it folks, you can do it!!

Ok, so I'm offically a non smoker..

Just held a cigarette I found in my pocket from before my quit. Almost lit it up before my shift at work, such a strong craving. But instead crushed it. Hardest thing I’ve ever done. 1 month 1 day still going strong.

Maybe it's me still coming off the flu, but today is the first time I didn't feel a want/pull to go outside at first break (9:30 AM). I just blew right past break without even realizing it. Literally never happened when that was my smoking time. Presenting #033 Nidorino. See you tomorrow.

I have a cold now, and I am relieved I don't have to find a way to keep smoking during it. I used to switch to menthols during colds, not because it was pleasant, but because it irritated my throat less. What a stupid, stupid addiction. Not one more puff! Presenting #100 Voltorb. See you tomorrow.
