I think I am ready...
Hi Shannon.
It is different for every one. We all wish there was an easy answer.
I believe the most important thing is mind set.
They say the nicotene is out of your system by day 3 but weening can't hurt.
I had picked my quit date.Told myself to cut down my daily intake
but if I didn't that was okay.Some days I did and some days I did not.This was my do as I like time.
On my quit day I am not sure how many I smoked but I had told myself I could have 2 smokes right after supper
and then thats it,no more smokes after 6 PM.then Cold Turkey.
I chose cold turkey because I did not want to prolong clearing my system
and then I could concentrate more on the habit I had taught myself for 40 years.
I tried to concentrate on the good changes I felt every day rather than the craves.
I also found that if I thought of myself as a non - smoker rather than someone trying to quit it made it easier for me.
Believe in yourself ! You will reach that point that you tell yourself how good it feels to be free.
N.O.P.E.
It went by quite quickly after the first month.
they sure add up fast.
