Hello Wyndee! And welcome to this group. I see you are also a member of closet smokers. I, too, was a closet smoker for many years. Or so I thought. The only person I hid it from was my teenage daughter, who knew all along I was still smoking. So, not only was I killing myself, I was lying to my very impressionable daughter. It's kind of hard to tell your kid not to lie when they catch you at it!
Anyway, I think cold turkey is the way to go. I've probably quit 20 times, and this last time, I decided that I would NOT use nicotine replacement (which only serves to keep you addicted to the drug). I mean, if you think of it, they don't recommend that alcoholics "just cut down" until they stop, right?
I will celebrate (and I MEAN celebrate!) one year on October 26. I have no doubt that I am now an ex-smoker, the few times that I have been around smokers, I felt ill. No desire whatsoever. So, hang in there, visit this website often and remember that you CAN do it!
