Willpower

I was on holiday & had to run back to the Holiday house .I was seriously breathless .I decided to quit after smoking daily for 40 years.It was so hard the first three days .i used Patches & subligual tablets .Every day I have said to myself congratulations you are a non smoker then I smile.I bank the cigarette money & intend to go on a holiday next year with my savings.I am a bit scared of what it will be like without the patches.

I think you should use what ever it takes for you to give up. Good for you and well done, I think if you talk to your doctor you can extend your patch time. Patches and tablets are much better then inhaling all of those harmful toxins into your body. Goodluck.

good on you I am on day 70 and use the patches and nicabate chewing gum to get through. Whatever works I say and I smoked 4 37yrs, this is my 4th attempt, so far so good. Keep up the good work and oh it's nice to be able to breath without getting breathless!!! GOOD LUCK

I'm on patches too!! Day 44 for me, I've had three previous attempts going cold turkey and the longest I'd gone was a day and a half. I agree with you Raine whatever works for you!! Good luck Free at last, you can do it!!

I agree. Use whatever it takes. I am on day 42 and I used 2 patches a day for my first week as well as hypnosis. I am still on the patches. Stage 2 now and can't believe I've not picked up a smoke for 42 days after quitting hundreds of times over the past 15 years. Keep up the good work.
