I'm a 2 pack a day smoker. Now I have serious health problems
and need to stop smoking. I'd like to stop cold turkey,but I feel
powerless,weak,and vulnerable. I'm a slave to those little white
sticks. I want to be free!!!

Yeah, I hear you. Wellbutrin (zyban) helped me tremendously. Problem was, I had a physical reaction to the Wellbutrin and had to quit taking it.

I start a digestive cleansing program tomorrow and

cigarettes for me.

Lolligirl,
I can relate,I smoke a pack and a half myself.I have quit in the past , short lived.But do to health I have to guit,I was told to get strong,get occupied and it's mind over matter.It's tough , week is the hardest.I have a target date Aug.24.when the kids go back to school.Drink plenty of water and take vitimin c it does help.Being around other smokers don't help.
Stay strong you can do it.

I want to quit cold turkey. I am just going to challenge myself to quit,
even if it means contant arguments with those little white sticks. I'm
striving to get healthy and lose weight. The little white demons have
to go.
