Reciprocity

You are doing fantastic B57 !! :) Day 3 cold turkey, the nicotine is almost completely washed from your system so you will then only have to focus on the mental aspects of quitting. I choose cold turkey for that same reason. Get it all done at once! It's not for everyone but it was right for me. I'm shocked the session leader told you CT was the least successful method of quitting. From virtually everything I have read, the opposite is true. Cold Turkey quitters have a much higher long term success rate. In the end, it doesn't matter though. What ever method you think is right for you is the right one - as long as you never smoke again, that's the only important thing. Please think about posting some of this stuff on the main board in coming days. Maybe in the quit smoking discussion page. Just start a thread and yammer away about what you are doing and how you're feeling. You'll get lots of other members here responding in support and we quitters love to hear about other peoples quitting experiences. You sound like you've really got a well thought out and workable plan. Stay strong and execute your plan and you'll do just fine :)

Even when it seemed an impossible challenge, you got it done! 4 months smoke free is fabulous Grace. Keep it going :)

NOPE!

Yes, when you think about all the time spend planning your smoking activities, it's truly amazing. What a relief not to have to do that any longer but, it does take time to reprogram yourself and be comfortable in your new lifestyle. All that new spare time :D

That's like ..... this many :o Well Done!!

Yes - this quitting thing is certainly not easy, for most anyway. You have to realize it's an addiction, not just "a habit". Then you need to educate yourself about the addiction as best you can. Once you really understand that smoking does nothing good for you and you're only continually feeding the addiction, you can begin your quit with a knowledgeable and a positive attitude. You will still need determination for sure because that first week will be tough, but at least you'll be better prepared to deal with what comes along.

Will probably be much like here only live and in person. Others at various stages of their quit will likely discuss issues faced and ideas for combating those issues. Will be interested to hear what it was like :)

Yes - don't be shy. Quitting is serious business and together all of us are stronger. Plus, from what I have observed in the short time I've been around here, those that participate regularly here tend to be successful with their quits. That association with other smokers who have quit seems to be a very positive thing particularly when struggling in the early days. No matter what you're experiencing, someone here has experienced the exact same thing so, why not join in on the discussion :)
