:rolleyes:Hello all, I started my quit journey 5 weeks ago on the June 26th. I chose the middle of the day to quit for absolute no reason, it just seemed like a good idea as I started to plan how and when I was going to quit. I also started my quit just as my hubby had to work away from home for two weeks. I thought this was a good move, so that if I got grumpy - he wasn't going to be on the receiving end of it ( hubby is a genuine nice guy). So here we are now, after smoking a pkt of 30 a day for 40 years and have never attempted to quit before because deep down I didn't think I could do it and not sure how I would have managed failure. I looked at the different NRT and decided for me. I am going to do this cold turkey and that's what I have done. 5 weeks and 1 day later, I have not had a single puff ( read allen Carr's book 2 weeks ago) and not sure that I feel any better at this stage but am sure as time passes I will do. The first 10 days I struggled with sleeping, however, that is all good now :rolleyes: The past 10 days I have a throat that has felt as if it was on fire, however, that is easing now :rolleyes: As far as cravings go, in my opinion, the more you can educate yourself around them, it puts you in a good place to be able to acknowledge for what they are and not succumb to them, especially as the go after a few minutes. Water as become my new best friend, I keep sipping away at it.
