I am A. from Atlanta/Ga. I have been smoking for half of my life, 23 years. I smoked 2 packs a day of Marlboro red 100. I decided to quit and I will for sure. I am using CVS patches 21 mg. I am happy to be here and I am glad eventually I did what I should have done years ago. I am in good health and personally decided to do this. I am sick and tired of frequent trips to buy cigarettes and the stinky smell of it. I keep you all posted of my progress. Midnight 12/01/2011
Today is my second day. I am on top and patch really worked, no craving at all. Plan to go to the Mall for some shopping. It feels great that I do not have to come out of the mall to smoke like a chimney.
Thank you for your support. I have plans for that, I will wash my mouth to make it fresh and take a shower. Mice to meet you here. Looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you fro your support. I prefer the hot water as well. Nice to meet you here. what was the hardest day for you. So far I did not have that much trouble. It can be the help of CVS patches.
Wow, It hit me hard but I am on top of it. I decided to do a test run on the patch and see what happens without it. I took my patch OFF to see what happens. I was OK for the first hour and starting the second hour, the craving started. I took it for about 2 hours and it became unbearable. I had a craving for a smoke I never had in my life. I was in the state of mind that I could drive out and buy some. I had a bitter taste in my mouth very nasty taste, I had horrible time. I finally stopped the test after 3 hours. I washed my mouth and got the patch. I am all right now. the craving completely gone after about 10 minutes of having the patch. I feel good again and I am very happy for being smoke free.
I was trying to do a test run to check my resistance. I will stick to the instructions and I promise I will never smoke again. I am doing these test runs for the benefits of people who want to take my path. I had a wonderful day today. I am breathing better and I enjoy life a lot more without the nasty smoke. I spent a couple of hours in the mall shopping and I enjoyed it a lot without leaving the store to smoke. This X- Mass looks like my best ever as far as I remember. Smoke Free feeling is great.
I stopped smoking two days before you using the Nicotine Patches. I purchased them from CVS which is circular and stick better to the skin and costs 12 dollars less for 14 patches.I started with 21 mg patches and I am doing great so far. YOU CAN DO IT. Keep me posted on you progress.
Easy achievements are no achievements. Nicotine is the highest addictive substance on the planet.Removing this poison from your body is not easy. I am on day 5 and I used to smoke 2 packs per day of red Marlboro (cowboy killer) for the last 23 years. If I did it , you CAN do it.
