Smoke Free New Years

[Treasure2Find]

I made the decision to quit smoking and I have been on the patch for the last two months. The hardest day was the first but somehow I was able to rationalize with myself that I was getting nicotine and that what I was going through was just withdrawal symptoms from habit or something.

Well after two months tomorrow is the last day with the patch. What I did was cut the 7mg patch in half and have been at that level for the last week of so. If you saw how small the 7mg patch is cutting it in half is really pathetic. Well tomorrow is the last half patch and I'm a little edgy about it.

Congrads on your decision....

What is your plan? Have you changed your routines etc.... I dont have alot to offer because when I quit it was really hard... but I can give you encouragement ... after smoking a pack a day for 26 years....

I have been smoke free for 13 months.... and its great!!! Sometimes I still think about it but not so often... I dont have to stand in the cold to smoke, people dont have to wait on me to have a cig... I have saved a ton of money and I feel so much healthier!!!!

You can do it... just dont take that first one!

My plan?? I am at 3.5mg of nicotine per day. Monday I think I'm going to spend the day enjoying a favorite hobby nicotine free...

That's great! I'm going to begin my patch journey in January! I'd like to say I'm excited, but.....

Anyway, hearing how others have conquered this demon gives me hope! Wishing you continued success Treasure2Find!
