Hi,

Cold turkey day this week which I have set for Saturday, so I'm preparing myself! Wish me luck, and I'll let you know how I do on the first 7 days!

Thanks

Laddie

Good Luck to you!! My cold turkey quit date was March 24th. Three weeks ago today. Doing really well.

I hope you are still doing great. Tell me how you felt. I'm still on the 7mg patch. I figure it's still better than smoking the foul cigs. I need to quit using the patch. Please give me some pointers.

I am still doing great. I like to have a cup of water with a straw near me while watching tv or at work. That helps when you need to do something with your hands. I don't think about tomorrow. I only think about today and that takes a whole lot of stress and "what ifs" off my mind. Worry about tomorrow when it comes. Worry about next week, when it comes. Doing it this way, makes for a very stress free way of quitting. Remeber to take deep breaths. It works very well in helping to relax.

Hey there you turkeys welcome to the turkey club!!!! Personally I think it's the best way to quit (probably because that's the way I did it) But any way you get there as long as you ge there. I quit almost three years ago after 25 ish years I've never be happier in my life or have had a sense of massive accomplishement. Keep up the great work you guys it's truly worth it.
