Don't give up
HI I finally reached my quit day may 31st. Yesterday stayed in bed all day to avoid smoking and was very moody. Today I did have one, I'm giving up cold turkey so I know I'll turn into a monster for a week or two. I feel if I can get thru 1 week I might make it. No one believes I will give up and I don't blame them as I've tried about 30times in the past year, however having the support here I may do it . Good luck everyone, stay strong.
Hi Humble,
You did a great job, going cold turkey is not easy, some people do it but not many succeed, I read a book called Alan Cars easy way to quit smoking,,, he had a saying quote "the first cigarete is the only one that makes you have a second one". Remembering this and using a patch with some normal chewy really helped me. Anyway all the best, stay strong and remember we are here to support you.
Hi humble,
Different strokes for different folks,So whatever keeps you off the fags works for you..
Either way keep strong, stay focused and remember your not alone, There's a whole new world of quitters on here to support you..
Good luck and all the best xx
Hi Humble, good stuff, the first few days are hard. but you will make it this time. Forget about failing and others, it holds you back. Stay focused on your goal.You have the support here we all are on the same journey. I am using Champix so I cannot comment on cold turkey. but use aids to help you, gum, patches, do it slowly , whatever it takes to be successful. I just felt cold turkey was too much pressure for me. Good luck to you and stay strong, and focused. Good luck, you CAN DO THIS!!!!
