Thanks Dave for having this Topic to discuss.
Yeah, I did the stupid thing - give the religion the cigarette finger. Have been hooked for 14 years. Today is my second day cold turkey. I'm crabby and feel nauseous and headachy. But I haven't succumbed. I'm taking each day separately. I'm keeping myself informed as to what to expect from withdrawal and when it will become easier to go without. Also drinking a lot of water. I don't want to be under anything's/anybody's control anymore. I'm a work in progress.
Is it hard to quit??? GOD YES. But I have to continually remind myself when I get the craving that it is for MY health and life.
Most definitely, if you haven't started smoking- DON'T. I didn't realize how addictive tobacco is.
