Hello everyone!

[Florflor]

This is my six day of smoke free. Patches work very well. Now I understand what jonescarp explain me about cold turkey meaning. And I'm a little afraid of that. This is the 2nd time I quit with them and failed. But my hopes are on all of you guys. When patches come to an end, which are about six months ahead or so, I will feel all your hands holding me to not slip up this time. Thankyou. My hart is now a little sentimental and I'm almost weeping. Have a good night all of you. Florflor.

get your mind on your quit.

in 6 months you will be so dependent on the patch you will be too afraid to get off them.

unlearn the hand to mouth motion while you are on the patch, when you get a craving try to figure out where it came from. Stop being so fearful and don't become super dependent upon the patch. It will only keep you physically addicted. the new studies say that people whio used the patch for the whole program are equally as likely to start back smoking as any other quitter.

your quit has to be inb your mind not the patch.

You need to unlearn smoking

I'm on day 6 as well, and started cold turkey. The cravings are getting much easier to deal with compared to the first few painful days. I think that if you really commit to quitting, you'll make it! It's all in your mind, and it's all you. Good luck!

I am also using the patch but merely as a tool not as a substitute. I already stepped down  and will continue to do so, I also keep the patch off longer and longer. You should not rely on anything as a substitute remember the long term goal is to be FREE
