[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I wonder if the method one uses to quit affects cravings.  Is there anyone else here who was a[b] regular, habitual smoker [/b](so, not whatever counts as social smoking) and [b]quit cold turkey [/b]without using nicotine replacements, therapy, whatever else?  How are your cravings?

I know I will never go back to smoking.  I think addictions of any kind are moral failings and, when I was a smoker, I despised myself for being so mentally weak. [/quote]

I smoked at least a pack a day for over 20 years and quit cold turkey 18 years ago. I didn't use a patch, gum, or pills. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I still want a cigarette. I don't start up again because of the cost, the stench, and the toxicity, but boy do I miss it.  One thing you can do is find out how much a pack of your brand costs right now and put that amount of money in a jar each day.  Before you know it you'll still be smoke free and you'll have a nice little "splurge" fund.

Good luck. You can do this.[/quote]
