Hi, day 1 today for me cold turkey, gave up 10 years ago after read Allen Carr's book, relapsed after about a year quit with just smoking when out, within a month was sucked back in full time - definitely no such thing as just one.
I just turned 40 and suffering with chest infections since January so decided enough is enough, have to stop before it kills me - smoked 30 to 40 a day ...
Feeling strong and determined but know it is a hard road ahead - looking forward to sharing my journey with you all, getting and giving advice and support,

Hi Exfirecracker. I notice that you're 3 months free. I am just starting out on day 1 (6 hrs in). I don't know how many times I've been in this place recently but decided while chatting online in the early hours that I am a non-smoker. Am going to keep that in my head all the time, especially over the next 5 days before my op. Can't smoke that day either and following day staying with friends so week 1 of being non smoker dealt with.
HI CiggieStardust - only seeing this now and see you have fallen, wishing you all the best for your operation and hope to see you back here very soon - as long a you learn from attempts and never give up trying you will succeed!
