|
|
I was smoking 2 packs of Cig's a day costing me just over $5.00 a day. Not had a cigarette now in 29 days. I told the wife I was going to write myself a check every Month and put it into the credit union. My reward for stop smoking is first year $1825.00. That is what I was blowing up in smoke. This amount of money will help purchase the remaining Peace dollars I need and will put a big bite in completing my walkers. Oh, by the way, I had smoked for over 30 years and quit "COLD TURKEY" No patches, no Gum,  daffy

Hey congratulations! I smoked from around age 11 to 23 (last year) and I quit cold turkey too. Its really the only way to go in my opinion. No gum or patches, you just have to really want to quit.

For me, after 3 or 4 weeks I didn't think about it much. But even after about 9 r 10 months, I still get a pretty strong craving once or twice a month. Stay strong though, and you'll learn to deal with it without much of a problem.
