im so angrey with myself
i have started smoking again because the patches did not work for me i was to angrey and too moody and i had cravings bad. i feel so bad because i broke my promise to my boyfriend because i told him i would never smoke again. but its hard because he smokes so i was all ways on the edge
you promised your b/friend you would not smoke again yet he smokes !!! Are u sure you really wanted to stop smoking.How long did u use the patches for ??? Ive used them and found the 4th/5th day i was feeling a bit moody and really craving a smoke.I NEVER gave up i fought the cravings etc and have been smoke free for over 8 weeks
Hi Sarah, It really is disheartening to have a failed attempt (i should know i had countless)..
I just wanted to say that there is absolutely no such thing as a magic cure when it comes to quitting smoking. There is no product that will take away all forms of cravings and moodiness. You need to be clear on this going into your next quit attempt otherwise you will fail over and over again as you are not using your most vital tool in your quit arsenal - WILLPOWER!!
By the sounds of it, you need to be more organized in your quit plan and have some stronger motivation than "i told my boyfriend i wouldn't" - what are you going to do when you get a craving?? What are the reasons for you not wanting to smoke?? These are things you need to ask yourself and write it all down.. Write lists of distractions and reasons to quit and put them around your house to remind yourself.
But above all - never give up, no matter how hard it is - you let your guard down for a second and you are back to day 1.
Good luck on your journey - i hope you make it next time!!
