Im on my 2nd week smoke-free cold turkey.
I decided to quit smoking when I got really ill. because I was sick, I didnt have any desire to smoke, so it was a perfect starting point. for the first 2 or 3 days it was easy to not smoke and after I recovered from the flu I had it started to get a bit harder... but it was definatley easier than quitting cold turkey on a regular day. all I had to do was put myself in that mindset while I was sick "This is my rare opportunity. No more smoking." 2 weeks later im still not smoking. so my advice to anyone trying to quit... maybe next time you are feeling ill... take it as an omen, not a set back and try to use it to your advantage and quit. getting past those first 3 days is the hardest part unless you are ill.
