Breather, thank you very much for the advice, I think I needed that. Bill, thanks so much for your blunt reply. It is very much what I needed to hear! And my father is constantly telling me the same. (He's going on 12 years) I know if I have "just one" that will be the end of it. I just wanted to know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Right now I feel as if a piece of me has died, how silly is that. I'm hoping this will pass in time.
Thank you for taking the time to give some great advice working on it. I keep telling myself that it will be impossible to have just one, kinda like Lays potato chips. lol
Hi, welcome aboard! I felt the exact same way as you're describing. I didn't want to quit, but NEEDED to quit for health reasons. Most of my mother's side of the family smoke, and I get to see first hand what I'll be like if I don't cut it out now!
Starting an exercise program is a great idea! I go to the gym every lunch hour when I can so hopefully I won't put too many pounds on. Not only that, but it will make you feel better and help to take your mind off of smoking. And you'll be amazed at how much easier working out gets when you can breath!
Sorry to hear that Carlos, but put it behind you can keep right on going! As working on it said, what better motivation then to prove somebody wrong! When I get a strong urge to smoke, I log right on here and remind myself why I am doing this in the first place and read through some of the older posts and information. I find they really help.
Good to hear you're feeling better Carlos. They don't recommend going to the 14 mg patch until you've used the 21 mg a full four weeks. I really think you'll have better luck if you stick to the program and don't rush through it. Give yourself enough time to adjust with not smoking first before you rush to the next step.
