Same here! 12 years of smoking, but quit cold turkey after my son was born, Dec 15th, 2011. Day three was the hardest for me, but since I scaled back my smoking the months prior, I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms that I'm aware of. The benefits are immediately noticeable. No more coughing, smelling like smoke, shortness of breath has diminished. All good things!
The longest break before this was one month and that was with nicotine supplements, but all it took was me saying I could have one at breaktime and continue to be smoke-free. Very hard to do. One leads to two etc. My advice, no matter what, don't have that "check" cigarette to see how you're doing.
Great thread BTW.
