Hiya tytanner and a big warm welcome to quit support๐Ÿ˜Š

Congratulations on 4 days quit, well done to you๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Sorry to hear your diagnosis, we have other members with this condition also. The good news is that by quitting you really are doing the best thing possible for your health. The support on here can make a huge difference as I certainly wouldn't have got this far without the help of these lovely people. Believe in yourself, you CAN do it. Just take one day at a time and know the cravings will pass. The breathing excercises on the right are very good to help a craving pass. Good luck๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ˜Šx

Hi tytanner and a big warm welcome to quit support.

Good on you for making the decision to quit smoking - This will certainly help with your COPD :) :)

I gave up cold turkey over a year ago.. I did not think for minute that i could do it but to be perfectly honest, for me, the hardest part was making the decision to quit. Once i did that, i worked very hard at changing negative thoughts into positives. ( that is the studying psychology coming out in me) so what ever symptoms i got i just seen them as positives changes to my body and this truly helped me stay smoke free.

I never seen myself as giving up something as this can play havoc with your emotions, i turned it around to - this is the beginning of a new non stinky healthier me :D ..I would remind myself of this whenever i got cravings etc.

If you have not read the Allan Carr book easy way to quit smoking - even though it is not a well written book, it does put smoking into perspective...it is available as a pdf - just google it :) :)

All the very best on your quit journey and like the others have said, we are all here to help in anyway that we can :) :)

Thank you for the kind words. Only been 4 days but I guess that's a start after smoking for years

Only 4 days - these early days can get tough..you are doing brilliantly :) :) If you have the determination you can fight any of the cravings...I think worst is not the actual cravings but the recovery of not having all those nasty chemicals found in cigarettes.

We all experience different things when quitting, but there is not one of who say it was not worth it :) :)

i smoked 30 a day for 40 years...and survived a cold turkey quit :) :) ..You can do this too..have a read of other peoples journeys as this may give you some inspiration.

Welcome and congratulations, 4 days is awesome. You've done the hardest bit. The nicotine is out of your system and you CAN do this.

One step at a time. One minute, becomes an hour, becomes a day, becomes a week and so on. Before you know it you'll be feeling the benefits with your health and you'll see the financial gains too.

I also quit cold turkey. This is the quickest way to get past any withdrawal symptoms.

I highly recommend Alen Carr's book, easy way to quit smoking.

The most important thing, (I have learned the hard way from previous failed quits), is never smoke again. Don't ever even try one. The Mantra on this site is the most important thing for you.......... Not One Puff Ever. N.O.P.E.

Not what you're looking for?
