Thanks everyone! Goin strong! By now would have had at least 9-12 smokes. I've been on three car rides today-and that would have been at least 6 of them! And nary a one has passed my lps, or even enticed me. I even went outside to the smoking shed to see if any mates were out there to have a chat with....didn;t bother me at all.
I love patches - they are so damned effective. I used them once before. I bought a 7 week course, and after the end of the first week I stopped using them and never smoked again for 2 years. Then, foolishly I had one one day when I felt like doing something naughty. Before I knew it, that one naught ciggerette turned into a habit again. So. I know this has to be it. No more "just one more".
Thanks so much everyone! I feel so great. We talked about this in class as the LLC asked if anyone had any challenges this week.....I said I quit esmoking today does that count! lol
I know LL is going to help me quit smoking too. Not the diet side of it, but all we are learning. That is going to make it that much easier, which is a bonus. It already has. I got a lot of support in group, and felt chuffed by that.
Thanks everyone!! Still so far, so good....but tonight, once all the rushing around was done and I sat down to put my feet up, had to fight several urges. But getting through it! I kept reaching out for my tin to roll a fag, and was like, "oh darn - can't have one!" lol.....and then two minutes later would do the same thing! But it's passed.
So off to bed soon, and thats day one done and dusted!
That's kind of what the patches do actually! I have not had one physical craving for baccy, only mental. PLenty of mental ones! But no physical....which is great!
