Could use a buddy

[dmiller33]

Good evening everyone,

My name is Dana and I quit smoking 5 days ago. My support system is basically me and my son. Just about everyone I work with smokes and my family is supportive one minute and driving me to smoke the next. 

I began using the Nicoderm patches 2 days in because mints, straws, toothpicks, ect were not working. The patches seem to be helping with the cravings, but it would be nice to have someone to talk to that understands what I am going through.

Thanks!

Hi Dana,  I quit smoking last Sunday morning.  I'm 8 days today.  I would love to be your buddy in this quit.  I can use all the help I can get.  I think what has helped me is reading all the stuff that cigs have in them and the worse case scenarios of what they do to us.  I read on several blogs in EX that knowledge is key.  I keep reading and the info I've seen is stuck in my brain to actually make me not crave so much.  I also get help from a cinnamon stick.  I have used the electronic cigarette in the first 3 days of the quit.

I understand as well that family is supportive but can drive you up the wall.

Good luck in your quit.
