I decided, while smoking, that it was my last one, Monday morning! Curently Thursday and I feel so great !! Breathing is much easier, I'm hungry all the time! And I can't stand the smell of it at all!! Getting some cravings , but for some reason, I'm passing them easy! I guess deep down you know when it's the right moment to stop!!!
Starting my 4th. Day smoke free!!: I decided... - Quit Support

Hi Linda, I went cold turkey!! I don't have any excuses to give this time, like the patch is making me dizzy, having bad dreams with champix, laser wasn't for me!! After spending so much money on trying to stop and notice that even excuse was good to start smoking, well I fouled myself this time!! Cold turkey!!! And for once I'm proving to my self that I don't need to be dependent on anything anymore to stop my dependency on nicotine!
good for you . i quit cold turkey too . I had never actually tried to quit previously as i did not believe i could do it. I think when its the right time, you will be successful - irrespective of if its your first time of quitting or if you have had a few practice runs . If you have your head in the right place and accept any cravings as a positive healing process, you will do well
Hi Natπ
Definitely remember feeling hungry all the time ππ still do in fact ππ, try have a drink of water instead of eating to help the weight stay off and flush out all the toxins from those nasty cigarettes.
I hate the smell of stale smoke and can't believe I smelt like that π³
You're doing great π keep up with the positive attitude and soon you'll lose count how many days since your last smoke ππ

Hi Nat, Yes it's true you do know when the time is right to quit, it's all about being determined in your mind, and keeping that determination going.
Pluss we don't smell like an old ashtray anymore,
Good Luck, keep in touch.
Congratulations Nat, I think your right, sometimes it just feels like the right time to quit ππ
