Building motivation

Today is my first day, I usually start early morning cig with coffee. Not today, I have been reading motivational articles and no cigs yet! I am doing this cold turkey after smoking since 17 and I am now 60. The reason I am giving up is that I am coughing regularly for no apparent reason other than the cigarettes will eventually bring myself and family misery so I have to be strong! Fran

cold turkey is the way to go, drink plenty of water and cut your caffeine intake why not get your doctor to check out your cough well all best and good luck.

Go Fran, I have just set my quit date and will be looking to you for inspiration :) I know you can do it and I'll be right there behind you. good luck.
