Day 18!

Still here and still hanging onto my quit!

Feeling pretty good and normal most of the time now. Still catching a craving once in a while, but it's become easier to redirect myself. I am still doing lots of puzzles and taking lots of walks and chewing lots of straws and (non-NRT) gum (but I've found I need the straws and gum less and less).

I've got about 3 1/2 more weeks on this level of the patch and I guess I expect to have a similar experience (physical withdrawal symptom-wise) when I step down as when I first started. If other folks stumble across this who quit on the patch, does that ring true?

Feeling really proud of myself and looking forward to lots in my life that I couldn't accomplish when I was smoking and vaping. I'm treating myself to a massage this Friday to celebrate 3 weeks!
