Quitting using Nicotine patches Day 1_New here!
Reciprocity replied to SD2026's topic in Introductions & About Us
Yep! I think you're better off without the patches besides, nicotine is almost out of your body's sytem now anyway so why introduce it again? Besides, the toughest part of quitting and what takes the longest is reconfiguring your life without smoking in it. It's a process and it just takes time. Repeating daily life without lighting up a smoke every hour or so. When you think about it, smoking probably consumed several hours of your time each day. Now, you have to replace that time with more productive & healthier things every day. That takes time and repetition but before you know it, you won't have time to smoke because you'll be doing things you want to do and were meant to do. Things that don't include smoking. No longer a slave to nicotine Check this out. You too @GonSo (doubble left click on it with your mouse to open it) It explains what I'm talking about better than I did: -

That sounds about right @Reciprocity So far Day 3 and half of Day 4 has been the toughest and I had a patch on then! Go figure -

That's it! Distraction, distraction, distraction when those urges to light one up come calling. Busy hands and a busy mind have no time for smoking. In terms of not having the patch any longer, I found that it didn't make that much of a difference to me as I still had horrible cravings whether the patch was on or off in those first couple of weeks so I decided to stay without the patch so I wouldn't have to deal with that later. I found that it was simply my steadfast commitment to stay quit, no matter what, that saw me through the tough times -
NOPE
