I quit cold turkey for the last time 25 years ago at New Years. I opened a special bank account, putting my cigarette money in every week, and bought something I really wanted after a year. After the first 2 or 3 weeks of hell it became progressively easier.

Good luck to you all.

If you're talking cold turkey, that's foolish. The best way to quit is determine how many individual cigarettes you smoke per day then cut down by two or three per day every week.

I say the best way is Cold Turkey....

After 11 years of smoking, I quit on Labor Day, 13 days ago. I've cheated and had 3 smokes since then. But there's 250 that I didn't have. Couldn't all of our bodies use 250 less cigarettes? I don't want to cheat anymore, but I might, I can't promise anything. For me, the hardest part by far was Day One - Day Three. I felt like I couldn't breath, or enjoy life to any degree at all. Who needs a coffee without the smoke.

It's not nearly so bad anymore, as the physical addiction is mostly gone, but psychologically, it still is hanging there. I try to keep busy and not think about it.
Good luck everyone. This sounds lame, I know, but don't quit quitting.
