Re: 23 hours and going strong????

Hey!!
Congrats! I also quit cold turkey over a year ago. It was the best decision I ever made. I know all about those cravings that just hit you. I excersied alot. When I had a bad craving I often went for a walk. I chewed alot of gum...pretty soon it becomes a challange if you can go 48 hours, 3 days, 3 months, etc. Hang in there I PROMISE it gets easier even if it doesn't seem like it.

Congratulations! Boy! Do I envy you! I have smoked for 22 years and want and need to quit so bad. I have no suggestions as I think everyone is different, and if you find out any secrets let us know.

Re: 23 hours and going strong????

okay i'm with you guys
i writing to support you. i'm on day 62 smoke free. cold turkey is the only way i smoked for over 25 years. had to stop because of spine surgery aug.18.
i'm highly motivated to stay smoke free so the surgery can be a success.
of course this made it easy to quit but i must say it was much easier then i thought it would be.
everyday that i counted smoke free made me fell so much better. only thing i do to take its place is chew gum, works for me.

good luck to all and keep up the good work,

Bob
