Hi Mike , My husband smoked two packs aday and quit cold turkey many , many years ago . He also was a beer drinker and quit cold turkey . Over the years other people that were trying to quit ask him how he did it . This is what he told them . " I realized one day that I loved my kids more then I love myself."
If someone held a gun to your kids head and said if you smoke again I will shoot your kid , people would be amazed how easy it would be to quit. I tell this story to people that talk to me about stopping and ask them if they would continue to smoke. they all say no way , not if someone was holding a gun to their kids head ! Then I tell them they are the one holding the gun and pulling the trigger every time they smoke , because someday their smokes are going to bring terrible pain into their kids and family's life.
Congrats you have now laid down the gun you were holding and you love your family more then you do your self ! What a strong person you are! Kudos to all of you that are reading this and have quit , and to all of you that are trying to quit you can do it to . Rocky
