i gave up booze 25 years ago and went through cold turkey. dont remember now the pain of that withdraw, time now to deal with the smoking and really unsure of my resolve, i worked 15 years with issues of drug addiction, dealing with clients recovering drug addiction, i am now dealing with my own nicotine addiction and really know going to experience some discomfort and cravings. but time to get this addiction under some control. best of luck to everyone starting journey and lets see how we go. going to use nicotine inhaler,more i think for the habit of just having something in my mouth, i was pipe smoker so always had pipe in my mouth or holding it. the routine of cleaning.filling and just having it there is like a comfort, strange actually that the empty pipe some sort of comfort, only giving up the tobacco, can still hold and puff empty pipe if need too. well here we go willpower and inhaler for next few hours, one hour at a time,
