[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

I'm resurrecting this thread to ask how everyone got on? It's nearly a year and I haven't smoked since. I didn't use any vaping or other replacement therapies. Fair to say it was hard and very unpleasant indeed for quite a long time but they are well and truly out of my system and my mind now. Can't ever see me going back.

 

How did others do?

 

I gave up years ago, and like you, just did the "cold turkey" i.e. no replacement therapies. It worked for me. There are many months of coughing up all manner of badness knows what and that just spurred me on. Now I can't even stand the smell of cigarettes and I even find the vapes irritating when unselfishly shared in the cab by one of my groundies. I know, there is nothing worse than a reformed smoker! But I don't bang on about it.

Stick with it and try and get yersels off the vapes, gum, patches etc.
