Living a smoke-free lifestyle
Gidday, I'm on my 4th day living a smoke-free lifestyle with no quit smoking products to help my process in which other would call it 'Cold Turkey'.
I had decided not to use products like Champix as I felt my willpower is doing just fine. Not only have I given up smoking but I'm also adjusting other parts of my life to a better and healthier lifestyle. Therefore if I am to crave in the near future, I could occupy myself with the other aspects in my life.
Yes 'Cold Turkey' could be a very difficult journey, however I had to prepare my mindset well before the date I decided to give up. My mindset is very strong right now and if I continue to nurture the mental side of things I believe everything else will fall into it respective place.
Good luck on your journey and look forward to reading everyone's stories!
Cheers!
Desi

Congratulations Desi!! I too, had quit cold turkey 502 days to date. Yes, you can do it!! Enjoy your new smoke free life it is wonderful!!!
1st day of smoke free, hitting the evening I'll possibly feel like sitting on my deck and having a fag after tea. I'm armed with gum and a positive attitude :)
So my first day smoke free with patches and gum and so far so good. Having a positive attitude will get me through the tricky times. Early days but at least I'm on my way. My partner is doing this as it's something we want to do together. :-))
@kimcreeds don't forget to acknowledge yourselves each night because everyday is a success without a ciggie!! Keep in touch!!
