Hi Steelhead,

I hope you're still smoke free. Sometimes the 2nd or 3rd week is hard than the 1st week for some people. It's always different for each person. Having a smoker in the house does make it harder for you too, but if you're really determined, you CAN do this.

Seven months was a great start. Do you know what happened that caused you to quit the quit, and did you learn from it?

Stay strong and remember, N.O.P.E.!

I am new as well. I have been smoking on and off for about 12 years. I quit 2 years ago for a 7 month period and thought I had this thing beat so I guess having some ongoing support through this program might help. The hardest part for me is dealing with all the triggers and cravings (like most people I'm sure). I hope my girlfriend quits soon as I find it very difficult to stay inside the house and try to keep my mind off of it every time she has a smoke. I am on what they are calling "heck week" but I am honestly not finding it any easier than "hell week". I started on Jan 12, 2015 and started by using a patch with the gum. About 3 days ago I forgot to put the patch on so I figured I would continue to try and quit without the patch or gum. This might also be the reason "hell week" seems like an extra long week!

Wow, I am impressed. Being around others who smoke can trigger most people so it is amazing you don't feel tempted.

Coughing up black stuff is normal and healthy. The fact that you are coughing up a lot means your lungs are doing a great job cleaning themselves up. You should feel like you have more energy and breath easier now. Is this the case? How are you feeling?

Hello my name is Austin, I'm on my second week of not smoking. The reason I quit is I have enrolled for my TWIC card for a general labour and I am going to be working at a chemical plant. SinceI quit I've been coughing up tar and it has made my throat dry and my lungs have felt a bit off or that's just because they are getting used to less tar in them. I've smoked for 6 years and I'm 18 so that means I started when I was 12 years old. The other reason I quit is because I have developed a phobia in having cancer, I know I have been smoking for 6 years and randomly got a phobia of cancer. I don't really know if tar should be coming out of my lungs so fast maybe one of you people can tell me so. I do not have any intention of smoking a cigeratte and I have 2 people in my household who smoke and leave cigerattes around and it doesn't make me want one, I also quit cold turkey.
