Quote From: cala_lillyHi Linda,
I'm hanging in there, and now at 11 days smoke free. Earlier, I was driving myself clockwise up a wall, contemplating a trip to the smoke shop. Then I realized I didn't have on a patch for a whole 8 hours. Of course I slapped a patch on my rear, and didn't get smokes. (laugh) ...but that's progress! Sometimes they make my skin itchy, but figure wearing the patch and being smoke free is an acceptable excuse for a lady to sit around scratching her *ss. ;D
(Thank goodness no one ever accused me of being a 'lady'!)
Thank you for the encouragement and support!
I appreciate knowing I am not alone.
Hi Calli Lilly
Eleven days that is great !!!!!! Being aware about the patch, saved you. I myself used the nicotine inhaler when times got rough and was on Wellbrutrin to take off the edge. During the times I was craving a cigarette, seemed forever, now the thought comes about as quickly and goes. You will know when the time comes to wean yourself, just don't let it be too early. Breathing exercises I still do in a pinch of a craving. You might want to consider adding the stop smoking meter to your computer. www.silkquit.net. It is one of the best little incentives, download it free and use your task bar to see how you are coming along. I wrote another post this morning but we are having some bad weather here and it got lost in space when I tried to post it. Keep posting, let me know how you are coming along, I care.
