8 years ago #It can be done. I am three months tomorrow, cold turkey. I asked for the will to quit. I realized there was no sane justification in my world for continued smoking. The fear of not smoking, of not knowing who I am without a cigarette in hand making me cool. It is no longer a part of my persona. There are moments where that old friend seems like a harmless idea, where the smell triggers a kindly thought but the reality is... the frenemy is gone. Best wishes Michael.

Hey man, thanks so much and congrats on three months. Good to hear from others who are taking the plunge also. I've tried cold turkey before but am thinking of trying the patch this time around. Called the quit coach people from this site and they were super helpful. Fingers crossed!

Yeah I was also very surprised at the lack of withdrawal -- I've had friends who said that they went through much worse. I did end up using the patch, but that was just because I found the cravings so strong. So far so good.
Has anybody else used the patch? If so, how long did you wear it before you were ready to go without?
