Good for you, Sam!!
Sam, you've got a good approach to your quit. Keep doing what you're doing and I think you're going to be just fine.
Just take it slow. I know I've already emphasised that, but it's worth repeating. Just put one foot in front of the other for a while and focus on what's in front of you.
You're doing wonderfully!!

[b]I wrote this on another thread and copied and pasted it here....[/b]
I woke up this morning (with patch on from yesterday morning)
with an incredible craving Patch had passed it's 24 hr
mark and OMG what a rotten feeling ! Thank goodness I discarded ALL cig's, or else I would have lit up for sure.
I immediately put on a fresh patch, ate my breakfast and did
some deep breathing exercises. AND I let out some A A A A A's !
Making these primal sounds really helps me out a lot... Am very
sure that my neighbours can hear me .. LOL !
Cravings have calmed down a lot and now going to get some
light chores done. It isn't a good day for a walk - so hot and
humid :(

I didn't quit on the patch this time.....but I have used the patch before.
I found the dreams FUN!!
I say...quiting is hard....so grab what ever fun you can. Even if it is vivid dreams. Dreaming of "whatever" is better than thinking about smoking. It's actually a welcomed relief..isn't it?
Mercy:)

Good Monday morning Ex :)
Well hon all went well last night ! WOO HOO !
No dreams, no sleep disturbances .. just a good sound,
deep sleep ;)
Even though I wore the patch to bed I did wake up 'thinking' about
a cig, but I know that's perfectly normal. In time there will
be a NEW 'normal' and I just have to wait for that time and be
patient. Take it all one day at a time.
How are you doing today Ex ?
Hey Phil.. your avatar is very graphic ! Sends a clear message !
So you had bad nightmare's with the patch huh ? That is what I
had feared, but I don't want to go through what I did yesterday
morning in the wee hours - up at 2 a.m. climbing the walls with
a horrible craving :( Btw, what the heck is a 'nozzly thing'? LOL!
Into day 3 :p and time to slap on a new patch :)
Have a super non smoking Monday !

When I saw Mister Ed's wonderful list of quitter's I had asked to be added to the list and apparently in the database there was already a 'Sam' so he is listing me as 'Sam2007' and I changed over.
Actually I quite like the '2007' added on :)
Just letting you know .. it's still me ;)
