I tried to quit smoking every which way. Finally I tried what I thought was the hardest way "cold turkey" well folks, look at me now! I have been quit for 3 Years, 8 Months, 2 Weeks, 19 hours, 53 minutes and 21 seconds (1,355 days). It works, it really does, and on top of that I don't miss smoking, I don't crave a nicotine stick, I just am, I am comfortable being just me. Linda

I look at my quit counter many times a day and smile a lot. As I post this I can smell the cigarette that is being smoked by my friend at the back door. Just
over eight days ago I would have been there having one too. It's still tough, but I'm making it, so here are my modest stats, of which I am proud:
Krys - Free and Healing for Eight Days, 17 Hours and 57 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 14 Hours, by avoiding the use of 175 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me £45.51. |

Cold turkey quitting was simple enough.
Making the decision to quit was complicated, but once I made that decision, Freedom and WhyQuit helped me understand the laws of addiction, explained the
anatomy of a crave, and helped me through a couple of rough patches.
Yes, making the decision to quit cold turkey was harder than quitting!
I'm happy to join this parade and brag about my numbers:
Carol, nicotine free for 3years, 7months and 2weeks.... after 47years of active addiction.

Yippee. I love a parade. I am quit for 4 months and 2 days after 28 years of ridiculous addiction. I leaned so heavily on some people here and can never
hope to show an appreciation for all that this has done for me! Take Care all- See you at Silver and some of you at green and some of you at glory week... but
the important thing is NTAP.
