I quit cold turkey. I always told myself that when I no longer enjoyed it I would quit. One day I woke up and decided I didn't enjoy it and I quit. It was a year ago on March 3. Still have no urge to smoke.

It might be tough as everyone's journey is different, but if you keep your head in it, you can do it!

when i was told i had to quit i knew that i couldnt buy anymore and that the 4 i had left would be the last 4 *kitten* i ever have..
but everytime i smoked it made my fiance so sad that i just ripped up the last 2 *kitten* and never touched one again.
and maybe it was easier because i love him soo much..
but if i can do it so easily im sure u will be able to too..
Although one word of warning, its been 2 years since i went cold turkey and i still ALWAYS want a *kitten*!

Don't wait until you smoke those last 2 cigs! Burn them now! Have you a bonfire and say good-bye to them! That's how it worked for me. I've been a smoker for 30 years. I set my mind to it...started weening myself by seeing how long I could go without the smoke, skipping smoke breaks, etc. I had that last pack of cigs riding with me in the car staring at me, tempting me...oh how I didn't want to "waste" them. WHAT?? They are a WASTE of $$$ anyway, right? Just DO IT and not wait until you have that last puff. My new motto is N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever (again)! It's all in the MIND! Your are already on the right path of keeping your weight down and in control, so no worries about gaining when you quit! GO FOR IT!

I couldn't even tell you how many times it took me to finally quit for good... but you are SO right, it happens when you finally decide this it IT, I"M DONE!! here for you! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!

Good luck - I know you can do it based on your accomplishments and hard work to date. Why not throw out the last 2 as a statement or set them in lucite as a trophy to yourself and the ultimate victory.

If you have a hard time - look for the book called the easy way to quit smoking. Both my husband and sister in law quit cold turkey while reading it.

Go for it, well done, you have to firstly do it for you and you will succeed! i smoked from the age of 13 up until about 5 years ago, and although it was hard its the best thing i have ever done, im sure we will all be here to offer words of wisdom when you just want to bite someones head off (as i did) lol!
Good luck x

Ugh, I quit smoking in 2001, and I STILL find myself wanting one sometimes. It's not nearly as tough as it was right after quitting, but once in a while something goes off in my mind and I want one bad! Good luck to you! Stay strong and take it one day at a time.

I never smoked so I don't know what quitting is like; what I have noticed, however, is that a lot of times when people are trying to quit their friends and co-workers tend to offer them cigs-not to be unhelpful, but just not realizing that they are stopping the person from reaching their goals. Maybe you can let people know you are serious about quitting and they will be understanding with your slight moodiness.

Good luck!

It *really* helped me *finally* quit after numerous attempts over 24 years. It's free.
I'm smoke-free since 4-6-8 (April 6, 2008)
I did gain a bit of weight (um - about 50 lbs!) but I've fixed that now, thanks to MFP.
Good luck in your mission and remember, you only have to follow one rule, "never take another puff". :glasses:
