Welcome to my blog on how I quit smoking cold turkey and also a look at the various methods to quit smoking. I did it cold turkey but I must say it’s no easy feat and takes lots of will power and effort on oneself.

I like to help others who want to kick the habit and I firmly believe everyone can do it too. Whatever the mind perceive and believe can achieve.

I started smoking from the age of 17 and graduated from a casual smoker to a heavy smoker of 30 cigarettes a day. Before I quit smoking cold turkey, I also tried various methods to quit smoking along the way:

• Smoking “lighter” cigarettes (for your info it doesn’t work and only makes me smoke more in fact double because I couldn’t get the kick out of the “lighter” cigarettes.
• Smoking lesser but it only made me feel worse because I knew I had the cigarettes with me but telling myself to smoke lesser.

To cut the long story short, the day I quit came as a surprise to me too because I didn’t set a date or anything before that. One day, some 13 years ago, my wife to be asked me, when am I going to quit? Well, I guess the message hit home, so instead of trying to quit, I quit!

I wouldn’t say that the path was easy after my decision to quit, there were the temptations and the usual habits and rituals that always coincide with me lighting up a cigarette. However, I persisted…

I have stay smoke free since then and I want to help others who want to kick the habit too. I am exploring and reviewing the various programs available from an ex-smoker standpoint.

Well… this is my story on how I quit smoking cold turkey, but this method is not going to work for everyone because all of us is different. Thus I believe with all the programs out there today offering all kinds of methods to quit smoking, I’m sure you will find one that is going to work for you.
