I am on day 2 of my cold turkey quit.  I have not touched a cigarette in 35 hours.   Life totally sucks right now.  I'm mad at everything.  My poor babies are getting snapped at for doing nothing wrong.  But I can't turn back.  I Won't turn back to smoking, no matter how much I want to.   My kids will forgive my crankiness.   I just hope I start to feel better soon!

My quit day is coming up! I have been preparing myself for this for a while now and I think I am ready! I have tried cold turkey before, and it was hard, but I don't want to use medication and I can't use the patches(allergies to the adhesives in them) and the gum is just horrid! I am going to do it though! I know I will! Good luck to you all!

Congratulations, my hardcore friends. You have gone where few dare to tread! The old-fashioned, cold-turkey method that our parents and grandparents had to use if they wanted to quit. 

I quit on April 1, 2009 and have been smoke-free for over a year now. I decided to do it cold-turkey because of an article I read at the time (which I cannot find now) that said for those few who can make it through the tough withdrawl of cold-turkey, the percentage who stay permanently quit is much, much higher than for those who use NRT. 

Plus, all the NRT that I looked at actually had MORE nicotine in it than I would smoke in the course of a normal day. Putting MORE nicotine in my body in order to help me break the nicotine addiction? That didn't make sense to me. So I did what you did. I did what my grandmother did in the '60's when she laid down her pack of filterless Lucky Strikes and never looked back (God bless her iron will power. I must have inherited some of it from her!)

I am a testament to the fact that cold-turkey can and does work. One year clean and hanging tough.

I suggest reading Alan Carr's book, Stop Smoking the Easy Way. This book made all the difference in the world to me.

Good luck my brave fellow cold-turkey travelers!
