Hi Briana : ) I cut back for a bit before quitting cold turkey. It was difficult but did work for me. What I learned from this site was N.O.P.E. You've probably come across it many times if browsing the site - it stands for Not One Puff Ever! I bailed on every previous quit attempt (eventually) because I thought that once I'd been quit long enough, that I had the addiction licked and could 'handle' a little 'stress' or 'celebration' related puff! But I will never lose this Quit because I am fully convinced now that I can Never have One Puff, Ever. It works! See the stats here to prove it.! Good luck Briana! You can do it too! Best Wishes : ) Eyja
Sounds to me like you are opening a door - a common practice amongst the newly-quit but in my experience an unwise choice.
If the 27th as a quit date is too hard for you, that is fine; instead, set your quit date for Saimhain and take the next 3 days to prepare for the big event; that is, you quitting smoking!
I decided to cut back on cigs as I am lowering a particular medicine: I will use patches and in heavy emotionall I try not to smoke but won't hit myself on my head if I will, I've done this before under close monitoring of my stop-coach. On Samhain / Halloween I'll say goodbuy to cigs forgood.
