Hi Liz -
Trust YOUR own intuition regarding what YOU need, dear one. I did this cold turkey, no slips, but I spent a great deal of time on this site reading -reading and reading more, which gave me amazing info to keep me quit and to help me build coping skills!
YOU decide what you need. This journey is a trip through hell - just know that up front - even for quitters who have had easier quits in the long run, most of us had hard times in the process (for me it was the beginning).
Yes it gets better, but stay focused on the NOW... Get yourself grounded and ask yourself what YOU need. Talk to your doc if you feel you need his/her help. It may just be that you need to hold on tight and allow the process...
Blessings- and show that meter!
