Cold Turkey...any tips? Please
I'm an addict. Whatever isn't good for me, I like. By the grace of God I've been sober for just over two years from booze and minor drugs.
I still have a problem with Nicotine. I've chewed and smoked for the last 20 years (mostly chewed). I've done the gum, the patches, the herbal crap, etc... I quit chewing about a month ago, was a 1/2 a can a day of Cope. Started smoking a couple of cigs a few times a day after that, along with the gum and now I'm at a pack a day...Sick, yuck.
On the 1st I'm quitting nicotine. Does anyone out there have any advice in terms of foods to eat/avoid, liquids to drink/avoid, anything else.
I want to quit. I WILL quit this time. I am afraid, for whatever reason. It's like losing a friend it feels like. HELP PLEASE...
Thanks..

Hi Gr8ful1. This is my first post on this board although I post regularly on others. I just wanted to tell you that I will be joining you in going smoke free on January 1.
In the meantime, in preparation I have stepped down from Light cigs to Ultra Light one, if I am in the company of non-smokers I make myself get away before lighting up and basically try to make it as inconvient for myself as possible.
I feel that I am preparing mysel mentally or my HP is because I am getting to the point where I am not finishing cigarettes sometimes. I smoke about half and then realize I don't like it, or I'm missing out on something fun while I step outside to kill my lungs. Also, I was diagnosed with asthma as a teenager but most of my adult life (prior to smoking which I took up 6 years ago) I didn't have many symptoms. Just last month I was put back on an inhaler and it is directly smoking related.
Anyway, I didn't mean to ramble like that but just to tell you that I will pulling for you on the 1st!
Hugs,
Kellye
