I did the same quit cold turkey many years ago..I guess we are two of thousands that do not have to have drugs to quit smoking..And of course there are times I think about smoking but know I am stronger than that so let it pass..

Muchael Douglas, has to make up his own mind not to smoke..

Quit cold turkey on Great American Smokeout Day 27 years ago. Laid on the couch under a blanket like I was sick for three days. Got acne, gained 20 pounds, it wasn’t pretty. But a year later when I asked a friend for a cigarette, I was appalled by how awful it tasted. Oh, people would say “I bet you feel so much better” and I would say “not really” but it was going to kill me so I had to quit.

When you smell tobacco smoke, does it smell good to you or does it smell like someone tracked something in on their shoes?

When cigarette smoke smells like s#%t to you, like it does to non smokers and ex smokers, you will know that you are truly over it.

COld turkey is the way to quit - but you have to understand what happens

Most people dont recognize that the cravings and insomnia are simply WITDRAWAL SYMPTOMS and will go away in about 3 days

If you want to quit, go to you doctor and get a weeks supply of sleeping pills and valium

Once you know what is going on and you help to conteract some of the symptoms, it is easy
