three days on patches and i'm about to crack

[southeastastra]

i can't quit! argh i just want one cigarette, just one lovely cigarette

lol i just rang the nhs smoking line and they're too busy to take my call due to the 'advertising campaign' argh.

zyban zyban go and get some zyban

seriously.

well done sea ...you can do it

thanks random it's passing now feeling fed up at having to leave the booze for a while though

zyban will be another resort if this fails (which it can't!)

No fags or booze but know what you mean

4 DAYS NOW! HOWS IT GOING SOUTHY?

The first week is always the hardest, hang on in there it will be so worth it in the end

thanks! still ok, tempted in the morning though and very shouty

This is the worst bit and it will get easier soon.. I promise!

Don't give up!! You'll be so glad you did

Oh, and during the worst bits I was so angry and stressed I had to smack on the walls to calm myself down!!

It got SO much easier after the first few days...

please hang in there

I've got some patches too, and I want a better nicotine delivery system [mad grin]. I smoke about 5 cigarettes all at once about once a month, and have been addicted to lozenges. I want my lozenges back!!

The patches are there to stop me putting something in my mouth. bugger.

the anger thing comes on unexpectedly and i'm also having the weirdest most vivid dreams. really strange like i'm awake.

plonkety. do you mean you just smoke five fags a month and have patches or to stop you smoking the five?

feeling optimistic today

I'm on the patches to stop me putting things in my mouth including those 5 fags a month.

lol plonky

day five and now the ultimate test - wine

OOh, don't drink.Fatal.You will need a fag.

i don't have any in the house though

Fags??
Or booze?

fags

Are you near a pub or shop?
If so then lay off wine as you will crack and go out to buy a pack of 10 in seedy guilty fashion then feel utter self loathing tomorrow.

not too far from the shops but i have willpower don't i? do you think it's too soon

i so need wine

No you don't.
Cup of tea and a bath and bed early with good book.

i know you're right

I drank a lot more when I first stopped smoking. Those sodding patches are still not right when I could be popping a good 'ol soapy nicotine lozenge. Yuck!

what is it about these lozenges?

i've now done a complete week! so suprised i've managed it as been smoker for nearly um 20 years eek
