I all I've been using this app for ages and never realised there was a stop smoking section ( there was me trawling the net for stop smoking forums when ive got one right here on my iPad /phone !
Anyhow ..... I'm 28 and have smoked on and off since I was 14 ! In nov I found a "growth" on my Tongue and my doctor kept treating me for thrush . To cut a long story short another doc has reffered me to see an oncologist (I see him on 5/1/12 ) and this was the sticking point for me . Even though I found it in nov I decided that I was gonna stick to my original plan of quitting on 1/1/12 as I knew quitting before Xmas was like setting myself up to fail and I didn't want that to happen . So I quit on 1/1/12 and I haven't had a cig since . I used to smoke in every instance ..after tea ... Walking to school/work ...... After cleaning /before cleaning...seeing friends .... Talking to neighbours .... Doing the garden..... A quick 5 mins here and there ...as you probably know it played a big part of my life (never smoked indoors or in the car ). I really so badly want to quit but I'm getting a odd feeling of impending doom , thinking cigarettes are NEVER gonna be part of my life no more so feel like I've lost a friend (a horrid deadly one like ) . The thing is I'm not getting cravings as such , more withdrawal symptoms. my body is craving for a chemical that my mind doesn't want so why isn't my head and body engaging with each other ? Hhhhmm . So today I've bought some invisipatch to help me with the withdrawals not with the cravings . I hope from this forum we can all help each other as I feel like this is gonna be one of the hardest things I'm ever gonna have to do .
