Patches and still smoking
I've been on patches since Monday and I still crave smoked. I've been smoking about 10 a day still. Feel disappointed I'm myself. I'm needing to quit due to help reasons and am needing to have surgery and dr won't do it till I quit. Didn't think it would b this hard
It is much harder to quit when cornered to do so. I hope you will read our stories and find the joy in the process. We are slaying the demon and we can take back our time, money and pride.
Smoking never did anything for us except to keep the cycle going. We only smoked as to not get the cravings and it was easier to just think.."Later"
The time is now, and you can do it. We all started out doubtful like you Read our stories, find encouragement and most of all find the BELIEF! We can quit smoking when we put our minds and hearts into it. Take care of yourself and get well soon.
It’s okay you can now do patches plus smoke (ask your gp) at least for a couple of weeks to get you off and running ease into the new life - 10 per day not so bad so give the ease in half the way house a go after speaking to you r go and seeing he guidance on using patches. You can do this!
