Cold Turkey

Rating: Why only half a star for cold turkey? You should be asking “why so much?”  Cold turkey is only successful 3% of the time.

The only reason it gets half a star is because it is free. But even that isn’t free, for if you do fail, you have the costs of continuing to smoke, which as we all know is very costly, both in expenses and health.

Pros:

• Free

Cons:

• Low success rate

• Very stressful

   I quite cold turkey 19 days ago.
   It is really difficult.
   I have not replaced smoking with eating or chewing gum or anything else.
   I have quite cold turkey twice before in my life.
   I have not reason to start ever again.
   It is getting a little bit easier each day. I want a cigarette right now. Oh well.

   What I did was to spend my savings ahead of time as incentive to not have one.

   I also do not want to be stupid and I usually think of smokers as stupid.

   I like the idea of Lobelia, yet did not know about it when I quit. I also like hypnotherapy, yet never got around to it before I quit. I just quit and then kept quitting every day since then.

     Whatever works Clay, as long as you stay quit. Don’t give in a third time, my friend.
