Hi well I am back again after numerous attempts, I have tried all ways to quit lasted a week or two,longest quit nine months.So this time I am trying something that I thought I would never try.

Cold Turkey,and this is day three, and do you know it as not been to bad.

I am really surprised I thought I would have been tearing my hair out, but no.

I know I have a long way to go yet.

Let you all know how I get on. Joan

Hi David, yes I am like the bad penny.

But I am quite surprised this time maybe doing it cold turkey will work for me.I have tried everything else so fingers crossed.

I will keep in touch David.

All the best with your new quit, pretty soon it will join up with all the others and you may discover that you prefer non-smoking to smoking. It took a few attempts for lots of us, Till the penny dropped

Good luck with your quit, Joan.

I'm on my 3rd day as well and I've also had previous quit attempts - 4 months and 9 months respectively.

Don't think I could do CT - I'd probably end up in jail :o but its great that its working well for you.

Nice to see there is someone else on the forum with same quit date as me :) Haven't seen many other new quitters. Guess not many people chose to quit over a holiday. I'll look out for your posts and maybe we can help each other over the bumps!!!

Welcome back.

I too after many attempts with patches/inhalers gave up Cold Turkey. The first few weeks were the hardest but then it got a lot better. Here I am a year and 3 months later and I could never imagine smoking again. I don't even think about it anymore. Good Luck

Oh thank you louiza,that does make me feel better.

I am on day four trying to keep busy and mind occupied as the evening comes I do start to relax more so hopefully I will continue in the same frame of mind.I have tried everything but this so I am going to give my all.

So thank you Louiza for your support.
