Quitting smoking cold turkey. I know very few people who've been able to do that. My definition of quitting smoking cold turkey means, deciding to quit smoking, throwing out the cigarettes and never looking back, and never having another urge to smoke. In my opinion, when I meet those people, and they tell me that they've done that, I realize that they were not addicted to nicotine. I don't care if they smoked four packs a day. If they were able to stop, never look back, they were not addicted. Most people I know, most people that come into my groups, and most people who talk to me about quitting smoking have tried cold turkey. Again, and again, and again. If that's you, that's OK. It's really a very powerful addiction, it is not a bad habit. And you need a lot of help with it and a lot of support, so there are many things that you can do to help you not only quit smoking, but stay quit. So once again, quitting cold turkey, if it doesn't work for you, don't be discouraged. There's many many options out there, and I encourage you to try them all until you are actually able to quit for good.

I was a chain smoker. I quit cold turkey. For you to say someone isn't addicted because they go cold turkey shows how much you really know about going cold turkey...

I quit cold turkey after smoking for 18 years. Smoked almost 30 a day. And cold turkwy worked. I decided to quit while i was driving and smoking. Yes, i decided to quit while i was smoking. And i stopped the car as soon as i found the next trash can, threw all the smoking accessories into the garbage, then got home and did the same in within 30 mins. You might ask me why, and i have no answer. Just felt the wiah to quit, and i did. And i worked. Yes i had urges, but will power kept it going, and still going.

1.- WANT to quit. 2.- Do a bit of research (I recorded the date & time of every cig smoked for 3 weeks) 3.- Get a plan together - ( Taper off, Cold Turkey, decide on patch or pill or whatever) 4.- Pick a date (very important) 5.- Smoking takes up a lot of time so get some activities ready...... 6.- Be ready with your strategy for triggers......deep breathing, taking walks, etc. 7.- Don't ever give up......talk to people, share your experience while your going thru it. good luck

[@jackienorth8762]

Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "healthy alternative to smoking" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Mackorny Smoking Escape Blueprint - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.

[@rubbersole79]

@@jackienorth8762 Hey I'm for whatever works. I'm off them for 5 1/2 years now using Allen Carr's "Easy way to stop smoking" - He wrote a book, but I just watched the youtube videos of him. I think he was a genius. My mom gave me the tip about deep breathing whenever the urges were strong. I came up with writing down the time every time I lit one up, but the rest was all Allen Carr. Best of luck to you friend.

Thank you bro i am trying

[@bothrealting2598]

The biggest points is 1: want to quit 2: just start RIGHT now cold turkey 3: know it’s 90% mental withdrawal and 10% physical. That’s why it’s so hard. YOU choose in your mind rather than a survival instinct. 4: know physical withdrawal is gone after 2-3 days and from that point on goes to show how mentally stronge you are. 5: avoid triggers as going outside on your lunch or break. If you’re really good about it, go to trigger spots and simply sit or stand there and do something else. The more you do something else in a trigger spot, the less you’ll affiliate that trigger with smoking. 6: another trick is to keep some on you so you know you have it. This can help, but might also have you reaching for it. You got this and don’t let that intense tingle in your chest stop you. It only takes a few days and is worth it :)

[@jimrylander9143]

I’ve tried cold turkey & have failed a dozen times. I just stopped 8 days ago & have been really irritable & somewhat lost. I’m going to keep going. I do feel the urge to smoke is a lot less.

[@Thiborfirenz]

52 hours into my cold turkey. The nicotine cravings got real bad at the 45 hour mark but began to die down after I pasted the 48 hour mark. Other than that the biggest issue has been fighting the habitual stuff. Like wanting to smoke while driving even tho I wasn't having a nicotine craving and other stuff like that. So you are actually fighting 2 addictions. Nicotine and the ingrained habit of smoking.

[@chillieboi2145]

Well done you. How are you getting on? I'm still cigarette free 3 months

[@Thiborfirenz]

@Chillie Boi Thank you. I'm doing good. I just passed the 14-day mark I've had 2 cig's in that time. The first one was revolting and made me feel ill. The second one, a roll-up, which is what I used to smoke, didn't make me bad, but it didn't do anything for me either. That was saturday evening. It's been ok otherwise. I still get the habitual thoughts that I should be smoking a couple of times a day, but it's easy to ignore.

[@leocardobekeerbeauty]

Good luck💪💪

0:52 did he really just say it’s a powerful addiction but not a bad habit? This is after saying you’re not addicted to smoking if you quit cold turkey even if you smoke 4 packs a day…. How is this guy giving advice? 😅

Don't listen to any of these people or videos. Just stop, you literally do not need it

[@alanidlehands]

Adam just because someone was able to do what you were unable to do, doesn't mean they never were addicted to nicotine! If you really are a 'smoking cessation' expert, you would never have said such a damaging thing. Shame on you! I am fully qualified NCSCT smoking cessation practitioner and I know that the promotion of products from the pharma corps is the real name of the game. You said that nicotine is an addiction, then you promote for cessation the very drug that the person is addicted to!!

[@CazDad]

Quitting cold turkey is not stopping and never wanting it again it’s stopping and dealing with the struggle and withdrawal but still deciding you want to quit through the hell because I’m telling you right now quitting nicotine is the mentally hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life I only went 5 months before I started back up but I’m about to quit again and it’s hell Ik what to expect it’s not fun
