No Smokes!

schedule 12 Feb 2014

Today marks one week since I stopped smoking cold turkey.I rewarded myself with ONE cup of good coffee bearing in mind that the effective caffeine intake is double that of a nicotime bound and unavailable caffeine. Now I go on to week 2 without coffee again.I slowly seem to be feeling slightly better,my sense of taste has become more sensitive like when I was a boy!...Stubborn is the key catchphrase after more than 45 years smoking 20-24 cigarettes a day!There is no alternative,I will not smoke.Zyban (175mg./2x day) hasn't kicked in yet.I will be glad when it does.

Wow cold turkey, you are barver and stronger than I. But good for you and well done! I am using zyban but started 1 week prior to giving up. For me they work well and i know all about the side effects and don't care. Best of luck and keep up the good work. I have found this web really good for readu other peoples stories and giving me inspiration.
