Hi Briana : ) I cut back for a bit before quitting cold turkey. It was difficult but did work for me. What I learned from this site was N.O.P.E. You've probably come across it many times if browsing the site - it stands for Not One Puff Ever! I bailed on every previous quit attempt (eventually) because I thought that once I'd been quit long enough, that I had the addiction licked and could 'handle' a little 'stress' or 'celebration' related puff! But I will never lose this Quit because I am fully convinced now that I can Never have One Puff, Ever. It works! See the stats here to prove it.! Good luck Briana! You can do it too! Best Wishes : ) Eyja
