I started a thread almost three years ago about quitting cold turkey

and how much dis-information was out there when I first quit.  I was so fortunate to find Joel Spitzer.

Now, it seems, the dis-information is even more ubiquitous...

 

 

here is a link to WhyQuit for resources about quitting Cold Turkey 

 

and my original post from 2016, Quitting Smoking Cold Turkey

 

I am fully aware that my choice of quitting cold turkey is not for everyone but,

education about addiction and all methods of quitting should be forefront,  

especially those methods that do not involve Big Tobacco as in gum/patches* and vaping*

 

Education is freedom.  Knowledge is power.

I quit Cold Turkey this time around - including after my one day failure at 3 weeks (Grrrr) . As I had a bit of a medical scare, quitting smoking was a non negotiable thing with me .

I have just tried to not allow myself to feel sorry for myself and it has been quite easy this time .

@Steve63 you are spot on to change your attitude about your quit! That's what's helped me to be successful this time around. We can't feel sorry for ourselves--we aren't missing out on anything! Smoking is not something to be missed. Once we realize that, we have won half the battle!
