This is my forever quit!

I will never smoke again! No matter what the statistics are. I just am doing a deep dive into the topic. I have watched all the videos here many times. Also have seen all the Joel videos, YouTube etc.. The hard look at smoking has made this quit different. Thanks for all the advice.

Still quit. Hardly any cravings.

So true!

Hey guys Was wondering if anyone knows the success rate for cold turkey quitting? I’ve seen 7% up to some portion of 50%. I’m confused.

Still no smoking! Been over a month. I have been chewing plain sugar free gum though. Plan is to stop that at some point. I feel that this is a new quit still so I am cobbling together all kinds of ideas into a quit smoking philosophy of sorts. I came across a video for the CBQ method. It states that willpower won’t work in the long term. We need to no longer DESIRE cigarettes. What do you guys think? Joel says we always want a cigarette for long term nonsmokers, is he right?

Thanks for your support. I really feel that this is my forever quit!

Still smoke free! I haven’t been having cravings right now. Watching all the documentaries again and the Joel videos. I am trying to deprogram. I feel that I am finally seeing that cigarettes do nothing for me.

Yep, I thought the reason to quit was obvious. They really are more about encouragement than learning facts. Lot of people quitting with NRTs and vaping.

No ground rules that I saw. My comment did resonate with some but I guess it upset others. I took it down.

I have been posting on Smoke Free lately and it seems pretty good. I got into an argument on the forum today. I posted that 1 out of 2 long term smokers will die from smoking. It is on ALA website and Joel also says it. I was met with anger that I would post something so negative. Was I out of line?

Nope
