I quit cold turkey 6 years ago and after about a week it wasn’t too bad. I had just started studying the Bible and realized that I had to quit in order to be acceptable and clean in Gods eyes so I prayed myself through it. Now I am so happy because my health is so much better and my husband kept on smoking and he has emphysema now. Smoking is a dangerous habit and the sad thing is that by the time a person realized it, it is often times too late to stop the horrible effects of smoking. I suppose that it is never too late but even for my husband, six years ago would have been better then now because he can’t breathe anymore–just gasp for air.

Cold turkey is going to be tough. If you can make it past the first 2 weeks you should be alright. The first week you are dealing with the nicotine withdrawl, and the second the physical. There are alot of triggers out there that will want to make you want to smoke. I have not smoked in 11 days and am taking Chantix. It works great. I have smoked for 25 years and it makes the cravings really easy to deal with.

The nicotine actually leaves your body after about 2 days. The cravings start out hard but if you can stick it out they do lessen in time. A lot of your success is going to be changing your lifestyle. Doing something else during the time you would normally be smoking. It’s a habit so you need to replace it with something else that’s enjoyable or keeps your mind off it. Good Luck!
