I just quit smoking recently, (cold turkey) and I'm starting to believe that was the worst idea of my life. Does it get any easier?

It gets a little easier after the first two weeks. In that time you will start to notice improvements. Your sense of smell comes back along with sense of taste. You can breath a little easier. Do not forget to reward yourself along the way (2 weeks, 1month, 50 days). It sound silly but it works.

Dont give in, You will be mad that you did. Its not the worst idea of your life its the best. You are an addict. Take it one step at a time, Dont think about the future think about this craving. Before you know it, The time between cravings grows and grows. Dont replace your addiction with another. Just take a deep breath exhale have a glass of water and it will pass until the next time. Try to avoid people that smoke for a while that will help. Good luck, If I can do it, Anyone can. Its been over two years for me now and I was over two packs a day.

yes. you have to plunge through the next two weeks. You may get a severe cold and your taset buds are going to get more sensitive to taste. Cold turkey is the best way to quit. Keep it up!

Yes, it gets easier. Eventually you won't miss it at all.

Yes!It does.My husband and I quit cold turkey too.That's the best way in my opinion.Sometimes you have to just live minute by minute.It also helps to exercise.Try to get outside and go for a walk.It feels good to breathe in clean air :)

Bravo!! With everyone looking for the easy way, I applaud you for quiting "cold turkey". No patches, gum or whatever, because they don't work most of the time anyway and are just an extra cost. It does get easier and it's worth it! Good luck and stay strong!:)

Yes! Don't give up now. I know it's hard, but after a while it will get a lot easier -- the worst is always at the beginning. Just hold out -- rewarding yourself along the way should help -- buying something I like with the money you've saved by not getting cigs. Good luck! *hugs*
