[size=2]Steady on people, i'm sorry if you think i was knocking NRT, i honestly wasn't. I am definately not promoting or infact a 'cold turkey' fan, i am simply a fan of giving up smoking.
I only stopped 'cold turkey' because i was just so sick of smoking. I did not plan my quit, if i had it probably would have been via NRT.
I put this post here for those who want to know the methodology behind smoking, 'the simple way' post was meant to enlighting people & explain why we smoke, to aid in our quits. I only wish i knew all these things before i quit, it would have prepared me better.
Brentw1, by our own investigations into why we smoked, we were just fortunate enough to 'see the light' so to speak early on in the in the peace to work, this may not work for others. howevere it is unfortunate that we all become the target of money & Big Business, hey, thats life.
Groovekitty, be positive, hang in there & be strong, you have all the support from me. Please use my post for what it is, it's just there to help as this is everything i experienced in my quit. A close work collegue of mine & his wife both took took zyban, they havn't smoked for three years so NRT really really does work, another work college used 'the patch' , this also worked for them for (2 + years).
lets face it some people say giving up smoking is the hardest thing we will ever do in your life, we need all the help we can get.
be positive in all your quits, Good luck to you all, i'm sorry again if i mislead some of you.
