I have smoked for 32 years, started quits so many times, never making beyond 3 months, lack of will power. so on May 1st I am pulling all of the resources that are available, with the exception of any prescriptions, and over the counter gums and lozengers, because I feel that is still keeping the nicotine in my system, or switching one dependency for another. My reasons for quitting are many, but if I had to say "what is the most important reason for me quitting?" it would be " I want to stop poisoning my body"

Hi Birdy, congratulations on your decision to quit! Lots of folks here quit by the cold turkey method and it can be done. I was cold turkey for about 24 hours, then used the gum for about 2 days, and then like you, decided I really wanted to be done with all nicotine. You said that "lack of will power" prevented you from going beyond 3 months. I would like to suggest that amazing will power got you through 3 months, but then something happened. You got tired of the quit, or you fell for the junkie lie that just one wouldn't hurt you, or whatever. So you DO have will power. And you can use it to get through this quit one day at a time. Good luck and stay close!

Welcome Birdie :) The decision to quit smoking in itself is such a huge step in the right direction. It is important when deciding to quit, that we quit for the right reasons and that we truly feel we are ready to quit smoking. Honesty with one self is key to a successful quit. Be true to yourself and your endeavor to quit smoking and you will successfully succeed. If you have not, please take advantage of our free quit program as you access your glove compartment when logging on to our site. This program will help you through each step of the quitting process. Remember the SSC Support Team is always here to help you with your quit. Please keep us posted on your plan to quit smoking :). Melanie ____________________ The SSC Support Team
