Hey there, you've come through worse than this the last time round and you made it through it. You'll make it through it ths time round too.

By going cold turkey, you've now got no nicotine left in your system at day 4, you just have those nicotine receptors to keep in check and these can last anything between 12-14 weeks on average. They will play at you and try their very best to get you to succumb :X

What you are feeling at the minute is likely to be the positive signs of recovery. Remember to see it as a game, there's a few things to overcome and collect during each Level with the ultimate baddy at the end. Once that baddy has been beaten then you move on to the next level. Try and find the excitement within the game as you play each level.

Remember that nobody said it would be easy, but everyone who gets there says that it's worth it :-)

You can do this and I gave every faith in you in doing so :-)

Like others I think you're AMAZING for going down the cold turkey route, I couldn't't have done it I know.I always find myself cheering on that little bit harder those that go down the CT road than those that don't.So,please please just hang on in there and remember one step at a time.

Kronoskey, I bow down to you for going cold turkey on your quit :) thats just one hell of a challenge !!

I admire you, and anybody else who can do that :) Like Emjay has said, your body is now free of nicotine, and at this moment is getting rid of all the junk and poisons that it has inside it :) :)

Be prepared for your new body :) YOUR body, yes your getting your body back, and not nic's :o cos he's out of it :) :)
