NRT vs Cold Turkey

I got to thinking about NRT vs. cold turkey. There's seems to me to be reason NRT should have such a failure rate and i think I'm starting to figure out why. I was thinking that people maybe didn't follow directions, quit too soon,quit smoking now, etc. But I think the real reason that people are more successful going cold turkey is because of determination and knowing you have to do it on your own. I think when you decide that YOU are going to quit smoking and are not going to rely on some drug or hypnosis or any other gimmick, then you just do it. I tried lots of times on NRT and the big thing I remember is wondering if it's working. . . If IT's WORKING .....I was waiting for a result. I wasn't working. When you know that you have absolutely nothing to rely on,stop smoking now, then you find that determination and drive within yourself to be successful. I think if the people using NRT kind of try and forget about how "its working" and pretend it isn't even there, just be determined to quit and know that they have to work at it, they'll be successful and the NRT might actually make it a bit easier. Its the reliance on it, that messes you up. The only one you can really rely on when it comes to your quit, is you.
