Now that we don't smoke anymore, we can wear clothing made of highly combustible materials and not have the constant fear of going up like a tinderbox. Now if I can just figure out how to place an order from the 1978 Sears & Roebuck catalog and get it here before Christmas... A little something for the ladies... And the fellas...5 points

Welcome aboard K.smooth and great decision to quit smoking. There's a ton of different things you can do your first days. Stop smoking in the areas and times you normally would. This will help you to disassociate these areas and hopefully avoid a crave going in them. You may also want to stock up on fruit juice or water and most of us craved sweets in our early days. I was hooked on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year lol. Anyway, we have a ton of great info about our addiction addressing just about everything you could want to know. I'd start with the pinned topics in our main forum. We also have a great video forum if that's more your thing. Lastly, stick close to the forum for a while. We are here to support you in your journey so if you feel you're going to cave to a crave use our SOS forum and wait for three replies. Members will be there to help you through it2 points

After being quit for over 2 years, I had a "slip". I think I smoked about 5 cigarettes on the slip day. Then the next day, I bought a pack. I smoked it over the course of several days. Then I didn't smoke for a couple of weeks. It was on my mind though and I ended up slowly going back to my pack a day routine. It took me over a year and a half to quit again. Slipping puts you on a very slippery slope. Avoid it at all costs!1 point

I quit almost seven years ago and have become an advocate of Cold Turkey but, believe me, I support and encourage everybody in their precious quits. Any Quit Is A Good Quit. Seven years ago (and still seek today) I sought information (in a galaxy of Misinformation) and was dismayed after googling around finding numerous instances of 'responsible experts' recommending to NOT quit cold turkey. Health professionals are quick to prescribe NRT's which actually have higher failure rates than a Cold Turkey quit. What kind of idiotic advise is that ? Is this more Big Tobacco poisoning minds ? Big Drug companies pushing product ? Ignorance ? Then I found a great rap about this from our Friend, Joel Spitzer Quitting Cold Turkey was simple for me. I considered it a personal challenge. No spending any more dosh on tobacco, vape or NRT. No schedule of tapering off. No teasing the addict that is me. It was clean. It was DONE. It didn't hurt. There were gruesome days, for true but, pffttt... there will always be gruesome days about something or other. Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries, right ? I continue on this new fascinating adventure. Not One Puff Ever. Here is another video and resource page that debunks the notion, Isn't Quitting Smoking Cold Turkey Too Dangerous?1 point
