Hello everyone

[nsd_user663_63402]

Hi guys,

I came across this group by accident to be honest. I googled a side effect of quitting smoking and this forum popped up. Glad to be here as this forum I'm sure will help me and in turn I could possibly help others to stay quit!!!

I've smoked for 27 years, and quit a few times but never really cracked it.

This time round I'm so determined.

As of midnight New Years eve I had my last cigarette, and I feel great!!!!

A warm welcome from me Ian and well done on your first 11 days smoke free! This forum is worth it's weight in gold for sure!

Thanks guys, yes sorry forgot to mention I've gone complete Cold Turkey this time round. I tried all the other methods pretty much and for me this seems to be the best way.

Wow I do admire anybody who quits cold turkey and on New Year's Day.

Hi Ian. Welcome to the forum. I gave up on New Years Day too and there are a few of us at the same stage. On the forums, there are different rooms for each stage of your quit. We are currently in week 2. Well done on getting this far, cold turkey and on your own.

Well done for stopping, and welcome to the forum. You should be past the worst now!

Hi ian, I quite 30.12 so about the same time. I found this forum the same way as you. It is such a good idea, if I ever need to just say how I feel then I know I can post it here and after a few replies I can feel good again and stay smoke free

[nsd_user663_63128]

Welcome Ian, great accidental discovery Sir! And congrats on your quit!

The people on here are boody great and will keep you on your toes, you are in good hands.

A big welcome from me too, Ian (no more windy jokes I promise ;))

I do so admire CT quitters. I know I couldn't have done it and all power to you for not only doing it but doing it with a whole lot of style and panache.

As the others have said, you couldn't have stumbled on a better place. The lovely forum community will share the good times and the pants times with you and you'll find all the advice, support and companionship you could possibly need.

I shall look forward to hearing how it is all going.
