Awesome ty
I smoked from the age of 12 and quit when I was 40.
I pretty much thought I would die a smoker. I tried quitting many times, using patches, gums, pills, expirmental medications, nothing stuck.
In the end, it was cold turkey.
All the other methods seemed to kick the can down the road, I wanted to get the withdrawals over as soon as possible.
I stayed home for the first week. No work, no obligations, just my ass in the couch with netflix and youtube.
By day 6, i felt better, not great but better. I felt I had weathered the worst of the withdrawals and each day after was better than the day before. By 3 weeks.I felt pretty good. By 6 months, I felt completely back to normal.
For me, they key was eduring the quickest withdrawal period, and taking it 1 minute at a time. Also getting rid of everything, lighters, ashtrays, butts, any other paraphernalia. No “emergency” pack (by day 3, everythjng is an emergency)!!
Just remember, as long as you don’t smoke, you only have to do this once!
