How's it going with you Pseudolus? I hope you're still persisting in your quitting of tobacco.
It's 6 weeks now since you quit around New Years!
Your method of using the Allan Carr method and straight cold turkey reputedly works, a step by step program and will power.
It'd be great to get feedback about the effects of that method and how you handled them.
It's only been a week and a bit. I had tried using e-Cigs over xmas and when I ran out of them, I ended up smoking double the normal amount of smokes I had done before.

It's not cold turkey method because implies it is hard work. It is not. It's a mind set that I am now a non smoker. I don't smoke. I am like other people who don't smoke.

There are no true withdrawals symptoms - it's all in the mind. Nicotine withdrawal feels like being a little hungry and that is all. A century of smoking adverts tell us that smoking is good for all situations, and TV / movies showing people relaxing and relieving stress smoking means we believe it is true, but it is not. non smokers don't need a smoke to relax and relieve stress.

So I now have no physical craving for smokes, and mentally occasionally my mind goes into automatic telling me it's smoke time after a meal or when I get out of a taxi / shopping mall or anywhere where you can not smoke. But it is very rare and it's nice to walk around fashion island without thinking about needing a smoke all the time or being at Central Rama 9, running out of smokes with no where near to buy them, and having to worry about it or leave early.
