For 24 days, I've been wondering how the heck am I going to live as a non-smoker. The urges were insane, the thought of smoking filled ever moment, I was irritable, couldn't focus, brutal time of it.
On Day 24, yesterday, something changed and it is WAY easier.
Hope this lasts.
Good luck everyone, not sure if others have hit that "ah ha" day.

I felt really good at the end of my fourth week too. But maybe my aha moment came today when I was sitting with a group of smokers, and they were all automatically rolling them and smoking, and I couldn't see the point I wasn't interested:cool: And that is at the end of my seventh week.
Well done you for going cold turkey, I would have had to be seriously sedated lol:rolleyes:
Don't take a drug to give up a drug Jo Jo. You don't feel like a cigarette that is just the habit kicking in. You are craving nicotine and by chomping down on that gum you are giving your brain the endorphin rush it craves. Don't feed the beast. Starve it. 30 years @ 50 a day....Day 25 quit...cold turkey and feeling great
Well done Teleguy. I would also have to be sedated to go cold turkey. But im surviving my aha days are still with me as im focused on my poorly dad. No time to think of demons. Day 18 today. Pleased as punch xtra strong mints are going down well. Just a loz when absolutely needed. Jacqui
