Day 17

Wow where the hell did that come from? I have been doing really well not even thinking about it and this morning BAM I woke up and all I could think about is just one! Havent given into it and wont but a little pissed at my brain! Just goes to show I think this is going to be a long battle, thankgod for the patches, have started to rake them off just before bed and put a new one on in the morning as the kept giving me weird dreams and was waking alot during the night so maybe thats why the craving slipped in. I think that actual fact that I have the patch on has become a bit of a pshcyological help to because when I do feel the need I rub that patch as if its a bloody Genie and Poof goes the craving lol
We will keep doing this folks together!!!

30 days for me. I had a chuckle because I dreamt yesterday that I had a smoke and was so upset at myself. Even woke up in a foul mode angry at myself for smoking, and there was this little idea planted that I may as well just smoke now, I was really grumbling and thinking oh well, so much for that... Took a bit before I realised it was a dream. My bloody sub-concious still trying to mess with me.

Haha we will be called the secret society of the patch rubbers, And OMG thankgod that FIREGOD had a brainsnap to you were starting to make me feel abit jealous (LOL).
Patch working wonders today thankyou very much NICOBATE right now I love you very much xxxxx
Good on you for patch rubbing :) and glad it helped. And wow Day 17. You can do it! Tomorrow will be 3 times longer than I have gone without a smoke for you - that seems like an eternity, so don't have one now!!!
Gee, I am now after reading about these 'genie in a bottle' patches, wondering why I elected to go cold turkey? Oh well I guess I just wanted to rip that band-aid off good and fast. Go Tiger74

Hi I know technically speaking I quit this Sunday coming but honest..I was going strong for 4 days last week before I caved and that must not, will not happen next week...so I'm going to post and not feel guilty here!
You guys are doing SO great. (more than 2 Weeks quit and 30 days that's So motivating to others in the hell-fire of the first week x), keep it up and stick to your guns...
