Subject: RE: BS: Extreme Nicotine Withdrawal Help
Susan, that did not work for me- mostly because cutting down made each cigarette that much better tasting. I eventually quit cold turkey- and I agree strongly with those above who assure nicwic and greg stephens that, yes, indeed, it does get better, and relatively quickly too.
One's motivations don't seem to matter too much when it comes down to it. For instance, I still wanted to smoke- but I no longer wanted to be a smoker. The day I realized that the fact it would be difficult to have stopped was not the important part- the fact that I no longer wanted to be a smoker was. That was an epiphany for me.
One's funny bone seems rather lacking during the early days but even at that there are some funny moments. Like the breakfast date where I found myself stomping the crust of my toast into the ashtray...
