Hi Jacqueline

Welcome and well done on 10 days that's brilliant. Reading about the addiction of nicotine is a good way to help stay stopped, helps us to understand what we are going through. You will find the links at the bottom of Wayne's signature.

Hi Jacqueline,

Welcome to the forum. I also quit cold turkey, and if asked I would recommend it as the best way - however whatever helps anyone quit, be it patches gum inhalor, is fine with me.

Being over a week into your quit means you have got past some of the toughest bits already, and the nicotine has been out of your system for a few days. Well done, that's a great start. You have every reason to feel good about yourself. Keep strong and keep it going.
