2day is Quit Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[detta32]

 Today is the first day I haven't smoked in over 15yrs. It's kind of hard, but thanks to the Nicoderm patches I am fighting the urge. I know this is going to be a strong fight but I refuse to let the posion continue to win. I will glady accept all support as I will do the same. Thanks in advance for all encourgement. I feel so sorry for my husband because he is staying clear away from me lol.........  I love him for his support being he never smoked in his 48yrs.

Congrats on making the decision to LIVE! With the patches, he won't have to stay too far away because they really do help with the withdrawal symptoms. Im willing to bet that after you have done all the readings, mainly Allen Carr's book, you will be able to get off the patches way before the 6 weeks is up!

Education is the key!! The more you know, the easier it gets!!

Good Luck!!

Welcome and congratulations!

The MOST important thing you can do is educate yourself about the nicotine addiction by reading, reading and more reading…

It takes the mindset that we aren't giving up anything...we are doing it because we want to and not signing up for a lifetime of deprivation but a lifetime of freedom...that is the personal journey no one can take for us...We will be here for you every step of the way! xo

I did not use the patches but I have heard it is best to take them off while sleeping as you did not smoke while sleeping so why have nicotine??!! xo
