Day 1 cold turkey - bring it on!

Hey Everyone. This is going to be my 3rd cold turkey quit attempt this year, and in fact all in all.

I feel differently about it this time, i actualy decided to do it this morning on the spot. As i sat there feeling very sluggish and meh i thought to myself 'why do i pay for something to make me feel like turd!?'.

I realised that yes cold turkey is kryptonite to any drug addict, but it will pass, i got 3 weeks of feeling pretty crummy, but then a life time of feeling energised, where with smoking i have less of a lifetime always feeling meh.

I wont lie, right now i want a cigerette, but not because i feel i am missing out like it did before, more because it sort out this restless feeling. I dont want a drug to be in charge of me anymore, i want to feel the way i do when i have 'had my fix' which is to non smokers...just feeling normal!?

Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else starting today with me :p

I've been thinking about this too. What a pointless drug to be addicted to. It doesn't give us any benefits what so ever. I was always irritable and tetchy when I smoked. Obviously the effects of the last dose leaving your system.

I mean other drugs, such as heroine, cocaine, even alcohol, it all gives you an effect. I've never taken 'proper' drugs, but I assume they give you some sort of pleasurable high. Nicotine does not. All it does is make us breathe those nasty tasting, chest breaking fumes into our lungs that will eventually kill us. And all for the pleasure of nearly £7 a packet. Absolutely pointless
