Hi all, I read most of the blogs etc & have just sat in the background quitely. However after 3 months of being smoke free, I believe I have finally kicked the habit. Its not been easy, mainly the crazy muscle/nerve pains/acid reflux I had been getting for the first 2 months, but they never changed my desire to stay quit. Suppose I had the attitude of better having a few months of discomfort & anxiety as oppose to being permently dead. Anyway I have decided I no longer need to be checking in with you guys for support & insperation, therefore rather then just vavish from here quitely, I wanted to say Thank you & I wish you all the best in your own smokefree pursuits.

If I could give any advice to anybody thinking of quitting cold turkey, it would be to ensure they gradually cut down prior tothere stopping date & are fully aware of what they can expect regarding common withdrawal symptoms that are not common knowledge.

However it is the best thing you can ever do for yourself.

Take care all.

Darren

Congratulations on reaching 3 months cold turkey. It must be only about a week for me to reach the same milestone. :)

Good luck in your new, free, non-smoking life.
