Day 6

Day 6 has been the toughest. Sunday is normally a rest day of sorts for me so these is less activity and more time to think. The urges were all there and I handled them but it was tougher today. Still taking it one day at a time.

Hi Dave,
You have done a great job. You are getting there. Take walks, drink a lot of water to wash your internal system. Think of the little guy behind you! If you stop he may never have to! Good luck! Come join us at I Am AN EX and help others. Again congrats on reaching 6D.!

Hey Dave.....

6 days woo hoo! That is a great start. You are well on your way to beating this thing. It is so hard the first few weeks to know what to do with yourself especially when things aren't as busy. I ate alot of mints and starting doing all kinds of things to keep me busy. I cleaned out junk drawers, scrubbed everything in sight. I also read alot of information form www.whyquit.com which is a great site full of information about smoking. I felt the more I read the more committed I became. Anyways hope some of these ideas help.

You can do this! It is so great to be free. Just remember N.O.P.E Not one puff ever!

Prayers.

Question to all. When you get to the point when you have stepped down to the last patch size and then finally gone through all of them is it tougher after the patch is over. Are there any different coping techniques or at that point is my body weaned away from nicotine enough that it all follows.

Dave I am on my last fews days of 7mg ( I did 21 an extra 2 weeks). I have actually skipped a day (forgot) and it was not a big deal at this point. The 7's are so small it is a wonder they contain anything. Actually I just realized that I am not wearing one today. 🙂 So I guess I am pretty much weaned and not noticing.
