Every one will have a different reaction to their quit. Some find the NRT is most useful and some find cold turkey will work better. Take it step by step and listen to your body's signals. Work with your doctor to come up with a plan that is right for you :)
Whatever works!

I've never tried patches, gum or the like.
I did have hypnosis about 30 years ago and that worked for a bit!
This time I went cold turkey and it seems to have worked for me.
It obviously just depends on the person.

Tam, I used the patch. I only tried cold turkey once many years ago...Hubby pleaded with me to start again, I was the b---h from h--l.
LOL, poor guy!
(Worse than the chick in the patch commercial) However, once I got off the patches I really noticed an improvement in how I felt cravings & otherwise, so I suspect you are correct! :)

I'm just curious how many of us have quit cold turkey or are using a NRT.
It's funny, but since quitting cold turkey I am finding my cravings are far less than when I used NRT's in the past. Even the first 3 days were easier.
I thought it would be the total opposite.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Doesn't matter to me how you quit. Whatever works :)
