Hiya Patty

I quit cold turkey 7 months ago. I LOVED smoking but just woke up one Monday morning & thought 'that's enough, I've had a gutfull' & quit Wednesday.

I used a few of those nicotine chewing gums but only 12 in total so don't believe the 'you can't go cold turkey' crap. I smoked for 25 years (23 of those years at 30 a day, even during 2 pregnancies.. yes I know ) and managed okay.

Just take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute if you have too. There is some site online that tracks things or something for you too. It's true what they say about distracting yourself as the craving will pass. It WILL pass and gets easier each time.

I had a moment of triumph last week when I had a drag of a ciggie & almost threw up

Now I am concentrating of losing weight. So in the last 7 months I have given up nicotine, sugar, carbs, coffee and.............. no, that's about it. Boring huh?

Message me anytime you feel you need a cheersquad.
