I decided to quit smoking last march, when i lay in bed and couldn't sleep.
I had no desire to quit before and had not thought of it until that night.
So, between all the thoughts, which kept me from falling asleep, there was the one about me smoking and what would change if i stopped and most of all: "why the hell do i smoke?" and the answers were all the usual shenanigan like: it tastes good, i like smoking, it helps relax, i can use waiting times, blahblahblah.
in fact, i couldn't convince myself, why i was smoking...so i quit and have never smoked tobacco again
but: my roommate had allen carr's book at home, because he was trying to quit as well, but it didn't work for him...
so i read it, but i do not know if it was the book that kept me from starting again, because i had allready quit for 2 weeks when i read it. but actually it doesn't matter.
i did not really have any detox symptoms or what you call it.
i just had the wish to smoke in the situations where i was used to light a cigarette, but got over it very fast. except, when i saw my brother smoking, i allways felt a desire for a cigarette and never got over it, but now he's quit as well, so this is over for me too...
but i guess i was very lucky...or not, i don't know, i've never really analysed why it was that easy for me. and i won't. i've quit.
