Good Luck Jo!!!
You can do this, I smoked about 40 cigs. a day for 22 years and for 2 months no more, I went cold turkey no patch or gum, and I do think this is the best way to go....
The withdrawals are worse the first 3 days, but just keep yourself busy and before you know it the time has gone, I washed all my walls and curtains the first 3 days.
I think this might be a harder for you than it was for me, my DH has never smoked and I was the only smoker out of all my friends, so I'm so rarely around it that it is less tempting....
I chew a lot of sugar free gum this helps.
Keep us posted and the best of luck to you!!!!
You can do It!!!!!
