I decided to go cold turkey after 20 years of smoking and have just completed day 9. I came across this website a few days ago and I have to say it has been the best thing I have found in inspiring me, everyone is so supportive and reading others experiences has been great in keeping me going. For anyone just starting I feel it is getting easier (I am not getting complacent as I know the second week can be tough) so get through those first few days and things will improve.
P.S you Aussies are the best, I haven’t found such a great community anywhere else on the internet
