I've been smoke free now for 7 days, 4 hours, and 11 minutes. After day two, I no longer woke up at 2 in the morning with a raging coughing fit. I started
exercising the same day I quit as well, if I can say no to nicotine, I can say not to laziness.
For me personally, the quit works like this: I quit cold turkey. If I was using NRTs and had a relapse, the product would be to blame somehow. I'd make something up like "it didn't replace the oral or digital fixation", or perhaps "it wasn't the right dosage". Quitting cold turkey leaves no excuses. If I relapse, the only excuse is that I'm weak and don't have the gumption to keep my word, not even with myself. You can't call yourself a man if you can't keep your own word.
That's the perfect motivation for someone like me. Maybe it will motivate others.
To Your Success,
Travis
