I am so glad to have found this group, I have been on Yes you can and it is great, but most of the people on here seem to be using some kind of nicotine replacement. i quit back when I was 20 cold turkey because that was the only way to do it back then, and I have chosen to do it that way this time also. Mostly because I want those little nicotine receptors in my brain to disappear as quickly as possible and if you use a nicotine replacement then the process just takes longer. I also have a chronic history of insomnia so I was thinking that the Chantix is probably not be a good idea for me. The first week of my quit I didn't even know I was quitting because I was to sick to smoke, so the most I had was maybe a half a cigarette a day. Then I realized I could do this. I haven't touched a cigarette since last Saturday, and every day is getting easier. As ben said my biggest trigger seems to be stress, I just sat down to do the bills and by the time I was done, I was really feeling the urge. instead here I am on this great web-site looking for support. Good luck to all of us.
