I'm right there with you, Kiwi. Cold Turkey was the best way for me, too. Hey! Barkeep! Pour me another Cold Turkey, willya? On second thought...make that a double, and bring another one for my friend here...

Kiwi, amazing stats, congratulations! I went cold turkey this time and so far it�s working. In my previous quits I tried nicotine replacements but failed twice simply because I still liked smoking. :)Good luck to all quitters C Turkey or not!

Bravo ! At work, I have 2 successful quitters: one quitted by Cold Turkey and the other using NRT patches. From this SSC forum, I know many participants quit smoking successfully with CT. The turkey is certainly not dead! :) For me, I tried many methods (and failed): cold turkey, NRT gums, Zyban/Wellbutrin, acupuncture, ... This time, I used a combination of NRT inhaler & NRT lozenges, and it works so far! :) A fifth time quitter, nmc [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 237 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,370 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1185 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2

Kiwi, Congratulations on your awesome stats, I have always admired the cold turkey quitters. For me I used the patch, and I am very proud of that. I did the cold turkey once for 18 months, and I knew that I could not go through the first 2 or 3 months of cold turkey again. I believe what ever you choose to use or not use is very important, but the most important thing is your will power and mind set. And if a person believes that a patch will help then I have no problem with that. Again Congratulations...
