Cobalt and I are quitting. I have a feeling that it is going to be easier for him than me because I am so dependent on that quick calm I get when I first light up. I am worried because I really get bitchy and weepy - almost like I am going thru severe PMS when I quit. I have tried most everything as an aid to quiting - patches, inhalers, pills, gum - without luck. I have never tried cold turkey because mentally I feel so dependent on that nicotine and I am leary of the withdrawls. But, since the other stuff didn't really help me, I think that cold turkey is going to be what I have to do.

Any suggestions as to how to get over the "waves of destruction" that I know will happen? Should I warn my children? Is it good that Cobalt and I are going to quit at the same time?

All I know is that I am sick of being "chained" to the damn things, and they are way to expensive anymore...
