Just a reminder myself and for all . When does the load get so heavy you crash ? Do you give in . No . You don't have to like how things are. You can feel like the pain is unbearable , you can be completely alone in life's trials and you can feel like smoking will help , but smoking won't make anything better . SmokIng won't change a dang thing . Smoking is the wrong action to take . No matter where you are in your quit day 1 or 10,001 if you give addiction permission it will take that thought and run with it so just remember smoking is not the answer . Never Ever . Distract , delay , discuss , take deep breathes , drink water , don't smoke , don't give up . Do something different , do keep the faith , do post , don't smoke .

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

Who,s sitting On the Train !!!! Come forwarded and be counted ...

NOPE!!!!!!

Here!

Ugh. I chose nicotine patches to assist me through my initial quit because of my history with anxiety and panic attacks. I skipped the stage 1 (21mg) and started with the stage 2 (14mg) patches even though I was a 2 pack a day smoker because I figured I could handle it and I did. It was rough, but I persevered. Today is my first day on the stage 3 (7mg) patches and I am feeling tense. I don’t have the urge to smoke at all, but it’s like a constant state of low agitation that is starting to wear on me. I’m doing everything I’ve done so far to help me get through the roughest parts of my quit, but I’m realizing it’s mental, not physical. And so I am on another tangent, berating myself because I am so weak-minded. So not in control of my mental state. I’m just speaking the trials of my journey. Maybe one day someone will read this and say, ‘But that’s me. I’m not alone in this battle. Others have fought the same fight. And won!’ Because I will. You will see. Stay on the train. And you will see.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right Gus. Everyone sharing their journey and struggles here helps someone else to realize they not alone in this. I am thankful for each sharing here. It encourages me. You got this Gus! You do.

Ugh, I do not miss those early days for just that reason @Gus! I have no doubt you will succeed as well. And just remember this too shall pass and you won't always feel this way, the freedom is so worth it

OMG! I just got around to rewarding myself for my 6 week quit and it was with an ice cold Coca~Cola!!! I’ve been decaffeinating this week so when I started drinking and that sweet burn hit my tongue and the back of my throat it made my eyes water!! HaHa Like it was my first Coke ever! Definitely the best reward I’ve given myself to date!

Bwhahahaha!!

I have no doubt you'll be just fine with the lowered dose. It's the mental aspects of smoking that take the real time and effort to get comfortable with and you seem to be doing a great job of that so far. Unravelling all those habitual smokes we attached to things we did day in and day out. That's the thing that takes time & patience to overcome. You're on your way now Gus. You'll do just fine! Your participation in a forum like this helps not only others but by helping others you reinforce your own quit efforts. It really is a win-win!

Wow - chick avalanche -2

Yaaa....A great win for the chicklettes ,while I was getting my beauty sleep.... Thanks for the help Gus ....I just give another slap...my hand is itchy ...

Congratulations on your eight year Annie. Celebrate big time . You deserve it .

Looks like we're cooked boys!

Well from what I have watched and read Cataract surgery is like cooking Abalone it take hours to prepare to cook and only a couple minutes to cook. So it looks like 15 / 20 minutes an eye, less than an hour to have my sight back. Maintain my current eating habits and Ill be Non diabetic and 200 lbs or less by the end of the year. WATCH ME SHINE !

NOPE!

NOPE...
