Well after 25 years (guestimate?) of smoking 30 + a day and a couple of years of e cigs on and off, am now week 4 totally nic free
Just thought would post in case any one else on the verge of trying to quit 100%
I reached 44 in Feb and thought enough is enough if I don`t do something soon am going to be a slave to nic in one way or another always!
I was fed up of all stuff got carry around, and £££ one way or another it costs, you can kid yourself ecigs are cheaper, but they still add up trust me ha-ha!
Anyhow I went for the cold turkey method after trying all other methods, patch , gum , inhalor , ecig etc!
I read up and understand that 99% of the nic is out of your system if you can abstain for just 3 days so this was my initial target!
Well week one was hell, and I was constantly battling my subconscious! If anyone else has tried they will know what I mean! I have never silently argued with myself before! (just have one help you, one pack then stop tomorrow etc etc)
I lived/survived the first week by walking my dogs till they were fed up of going out ha-ha, and shouting at anyone who dared to cross my path!
Week 2 was just spent of what felt like 100% cigs in my mind 24/7 and terrible sleep pattern!
Week 3 managing much better and going hours yes hours without wanting a cig!
Week 4 even as I am typing this I do not want a ecig or cig, and can`t understand how i was a prisoner to a £70 habbit (cigs)
Don`t get me wrong I could smoke one cig or vape an ecig, but now it just like when someone has a bag of chips or a nice steak and you think I want that!
The bottom line is if you thinking about packing in do so I was the impossible case and thought would never do it!
