I was a 22 year smoker when I finally quit cold turkey about 11 years ago. I had quit many times before, went to smokenders, got hypnotized but nothing ever worked for long until i finally decided i really wanted to quit. It was the hardest thing i have ever done. You feel like you have lost your best friend. I got depressed & gained about 25 pounds. But i was determined and am still smoke free. I recommend getting lots of hard candy. I used jolly ranchers ( i can still feel those little hard squares in my mouth) and lollipops.

Good luck. No matter how hard , its worth it.

PS The first 3 days are the worst, then the first 2 weeks, and so on. It gets a little better each day forward, just keep busy
