If you've been a pack-a-day smoker and this is your first day smoke free, this means you've gone from 20 to zero cigarettes in just one day.

With the Cold Turkey method (the most common but not always the most successful strategies) you've completely stopped your smoking all at once, relying on your will power alone to fight your nicotine addiction.

Whether or not you are using some sort of nicotine replacement or not, you may want to go back and review my post from November 19 of this past year: Great American Smokeout; Going Cold Turkey ~ to help with the constant cravings you are no doubt experiencing.

An even better Idea would be to go back to the begining of this blog and every time you crave a cigarette read another post.

Keep this in mind -- Today is the worst of it and it does get better!
