Welcome Antifoul2020 and congratulations on almost 4 months smoke free, well done! I too stopped cold turkey 6 years ago in September, one of the best decisions of my life!

How are you finding it?

Well done First 3 days are the worst, sleep disturbance normal and can last a few days. You have just taken the best decision. I stopped 9 weeks ago and can honestly say so happy to be smoke free. Read Allen Carr Easy way to stop smoking. It really helped me to realise that nicotine is the problem and dispels all the myths and illustrations surrounding smoking. Good luck, stay strong and soon you will start to feel better and sorry for all those still smoking and suffering.
