Success!

[Kdad]

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.

For me it was 100%.  

[QuittingGirl]

for me 100% as well.  Not easy, but definitely can be done!

Me too

How you letting along , the only success you should worry about is your own K 

As long as you get to your Freedom on your terms

Stay strong and it will be 100% for you. It`s not 100@ and if it is only 7% be part of that. Your quit is all that matters. Best wishes Kdad.

You will be as successful as you want it to be, if you are determined to quit you will .

i did patches for a couple of weeks, then went cold turkey, I was adamant I wanted to quit this time, and let nothing stop me.

yes indeed what Garry said, if it’s only 7% ..be part of that.

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.

I love hearing this, @Kdad. It is wonderful that you are embracing your forever quit.  There is an old addiction recovery mantra that says, “First it gets better, then it gets worse, then it finally gets different.”

 

Welcome to different, my friend.

As @catlover also said, unwavering determination will get you through. Desire is a powerful motivator!
