Need to quit!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1056

Hi there. I quit like you. Just decided to and went cold turkey. I had two cigarettes left but someone else smoked them and I am glad. Better not to have the temptation. This site is a great place to come to sound off and to take on advice. Good luck Gen :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 21 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 344 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �147 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Hi Gnome, Welcome and congratulations on making the decision to quit this nasty habit. You've come to the right place because you'll receive a lot of support. My quit is Cold Turkey and I know there are lots of others who have quit the same way. You CAN do this. It will help if you read a lot and post a lot here on this site. Ask as many questions as you need or want to. Drink lots and lots of water...It helps with cravings and flushes your system; Have candy, gum, sunflower seeds,etc. for that "hand to mouth" boredom; avoid those things (Triggers) that you associate with smoking early on in your quit..A trigger for me was coffee so I had to leave it off at the beginning; There's a workbook over to the left and you should work it because it really helps a lot; Busy yourself when a craving hits i.e. brush your teeth, take a walk, clean something, wash your hair, etc. Make a list of things that you can do during a craving. You really CAN do this and we're here to help you every step of the way. I'm so happy to have you here with us. Stay Strong, Tutti [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/18/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 59 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,655 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $211.81 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

I have gone cold turkey, however this time when I made the decision I had to make sure there wasn't any left in a pack because I tried to quit many times before with 2 or 3 left and I couldn't bear to let them go to waste and hard to give them away. Like the song goes 1 is 1 too many and a thousand is not enough. Life ,sunshine,no hacking, feeling positively healthier is the best road to follow which all people in this program are trying to do.

Gnome, Good luck to you! Your attitude says you can succeed. I have never tried cold turkey, but many folks here have done just that and quit forever. Stick close, there is always support here when you need it.

Hey all this may be an early post but I needed to get started on this program quickly, has anyone else ever just woken up one morning and decided that they just had to quit this stupid habit? I did, and not this morning either a coupla days ago, I have decided to quit cold turkey (of every technique its worked best for me) again, I'll be happy to share my success (and support) with others, any advice if this technique has worked for you would be great! Thanks all
