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.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 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.
