It has officially been 7 days since my last cigarette, and I feel great! “Experts” claim that the first 3 days are the hardest, and quitting without patches/replacement nicotine delivery systems makes it 10 times harder.
Utter bollocks. I went cold turkey last wednesday, from smoking roughly 15 a day, to 0 a day. As we all know, going cold turkey is usually the worst method of quitting something, but its the best way. Starving your body of its cravings for nicotine is better than slowly reducing the amount of nicotine you intake through patches. Going cold-turkey means your body is forced to realise what it’s like without nicotine, and that it doesn’t need nicotine to survive.
The hardest part now, is just waiting to see how long it is possible to go for without even thinking of having a smoke.
