But it is largely a psychological addiction. Your system for a while will tell you it needs nicotine but, through the strength of will and commitment you recognize that this is an addiction of the mind. And your powerful conscious mind can tell your body right back that it can and it will recover from that mental dependence on nicotine. Let me be totally candid. Like thousands of other smokers who have succeeded, if you want to quit strongly enough, you can quit cold turkey.
Motivation is the key.
Not just a casual attempt but a total unyielding will to stop smoking. Many needed no further persuasion. They just stopped, with no crutches, no patches or pills. Your motivation will determine how long it will take you to quit. In the meantime, you go through the motions of smoking.
