Hi there, this is the first time ive made a serious attempt at quitting,Honestly i started last week but i think more because others wanted me to quit, rather than me wanting to quit and because others wanted me to quit i felt like i had too, not because i wanted too, so it didnt stick.I bought some patches and lozenges last week, i put a patch on every morning and when i got a craving a had a lozenge (wow they are the worst tasting  things ive ever put in my mouth, i stuck with it and tried not to spit it out but as the burning in my thoat got worse that was it, i had to spit it out . didnt have another lozenge again thats when the cravings took over and i bought another pack)i stuck with it for 3 days now, as of tomorrow, when i wake up i am going to try it for myself, not because others are on my case to give up, because i want to, because i want to see if i can ,aswell as strengthening my will

You have to want to do it yourself or it wont happen. I am on my 33rd day now and it is not easy but i am hanging in there.It is only now that the cravings are settling down a bit. I didn't think i would make it this far so i am proud of myself. The thought of given up all over again is the one thing that has really stop me picking up another smoke. My 2nd week was the hardest and i don't want to go back there again. I use Nicotinell patches which seem to agree with my skin but although they are 24 hr patches i only use them for 12 hrs a day. I always take them off by 8pm otherwise i dream all night and some are horrors. This sight has been great support for me so keep with it.

I am on my 12th day, and yes the second week has been the hardest. I have tried many times before patches, Champex (which sent me loopy), I know I have to do this for myself but it's a struggle... I wonder if the cravings will ever go away???
