December 15, 20178 yr Just wanted to share that this is my 3rd full day without smoking. This morning i decided to Go without the patch. I lasted until 330pm at work and had to put a patch on. I was so happy that I didnt just indulge in a drag but frustrated I needed the patch on.
December 15, 20178 yr Do whatever you need to do for now so that you don't smoke - not even just a little puff! That is job #1 for you Latoya until you get things under control. That first week or so can be a real roller coaster of emotions and anxiety. It's all normal and you just have to tough it out. Things will get better because every battle you fight with the Nicodemon and win makes you stronger and weakens him. It's a very gradual process so you may not even notice it is happening but ..... IT IS! It's the same way for all of us and it will happen for you too providing you don't smoke. No one here is special or different in any way. We all pay our dues but in doing so, we ALL find our freedom from this horrible addiction
December 16, 20178 yr Good for you Latoya! Whatever you have to do to fight the fight is better than smoking. I’m on Day 1 of using the patch & it’s working! I envy those who can do this cold turkey but if this is what it takes for some of us then so be it. Just don’t smoke! ?
December 16, 20178 yr Author Well i am happy someone else is using it too. I tried today but at work i was driving and couldn't focus, so i threw a patch back on. I'm not ready yet but I will not touch a cigarette. Good luck to us we will beat it
December 16, 20178 yr Quitting smoking can play havoc with your body & mind as you adjust to living without all those deadly chemicals you used to put in there many times a day. Your blood sugar levels is one of them. Keep yourself well hydrated and try drinking fruit juice. The sugar boost might help with that brain-fog. Just remember ladies, any annoying symptom you may experience from quitting will only be temporary but the benefits you will receive will be permanent

December 16, 20178 yr Good job Latoya! Putting a patch on your arm is a lot better then sticking a piece of paper in your mouth with cancer causing crap in it and lighting it on fire!!! Keep with the patch for a couple of days and then try a day without it.
