The Giving Up Smoking Thread!!

yellowmonkey

Hi and welcome galant

Gave up Cold turkey myself. There is a feeling of something missing at first but this soon passes. Have you visited the 1st page as there are loads of links to help you. The one for me was "Why Quit". Bit morbid and realistic but that was the one for me.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

Hello all

Thought I'd pop in to say hi, Have been stopped 1day and 14 hrs according to my quit meter thingy, was on 30+ a day have gone cold turkey, never tried without NRT before. Havent had any cravings as such, it's more a constant feeling of something missing/forgotten, have been hyper-bordering on hysteria:rotfl: but haven't murdered the kids yet. Need to eat often as feeling light headed. Does this sound familiar to you guys?

Welcome galant!!!!

Yes that sounds perfectly normal to me. Wait til you're really tempted to rip the kids heads off!!!! (metaphorically speaking of course):D
I haven't had a smoke since 1st december 2007 and my kids have survived.
and my OH hasn't done a runner.
Well done so far, you done really well-i went cold turkey too.
You should be really proud-it's a big step from just thinking about quitting and actually doing it.
We're all here and will give you as much support as we can-we are not here to judge and if we can help you we will.;)

Lurkio, if you're out there, I've finally picked up the book. No pressure or anything, just reading it out of interest, you understand . . .
