    Still not smoked my first cig of the day and it's just gone 6pm :T

    That's really good, so why not just change your plan and quit now? It's probably better than having a set date in mind and as you have gone nearly all day, why not go for it.
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

  • I second melbury, nyk you have done so well, worse part of a day gone, might as well make it a full day. :T well done :T

    Tattycath: Well done!! 29 days is a great feat!

    I am also the cold turkey type of person. I would just rather bite the bullet quick and hard and be done with it. But it is such a personal choice! It doesn't matter how you do it! Whatever works.

    Although I think we all agree that cutting down, does not work!. :D
