Hey all, I had my last cigarette and started the patch for my birthday. I have been smoking since I was 18 and finally had enough! So far it has been 5 days and I honestly have never felt better. I haven't had any cravings and energy levels have increased. I have found myself "snacking" more, but it is on grapes and carrots and the like. I have also started to learn sign language to keep my hands and brain preoccupied. Also thinking about learning a new language. Every one of you have my support in stopping for good and Kudos go out to those who are doing this cold turkey. I know it is difficult but we can do this!!

  • Hiya, this is 3rd time lucky for me, im quitting cold turkey this time and am on day 10. The first few days were quite brutal but i think im over the worst.
    I usually end up back on them when i drink but i had a few drinks and was not tempted so fingers crossed i can do it this time.
    My advice to anyone is stick at it, those first few days can be a nightmare but it does pass i promise you.
    Good luck everyone, heres to a smoke free 2012 xx
