It's your choice and its my one month quit
One month!!! I'm so so proud and you know what is strange I told one person, like one person seriously I thought I would want to tell everyone that I've reached one month, scream it so loud so that the whole world would know! But I haven't really thought about it. Smoking, cigarettes don't enter my mind much these days. It's been 5 whole days with out the patch and from my research it says nicotine is out of your system by day 5 I'm not sure if this is true but I don't feel any strong urges to smoke at all now. It's strange as soon as that patch was off those cravings stopped almost immediately. It's like a quick, less then a second thought "I want a smoke, a puff" but its gone quicker then me blinking... If I can do it anyone can! I was a 30+ a day smoker... You have to want to quit, choose not to have that cigarette. It's your choice nobody else's...

Hi choosing life, great to hear you are doing so well and are so positive! Great stuff.

Hi Well done on a month , and yes you are bang craving for a smoke becomes a fleeting thought at most eventually. Isn't amazing what you can you do when you put your mind to it. I love that last line of your post, 'you have to want to quit, choose not to have a cigarette,its you choice nobody else'.... that's a powerful statement, and hits the nail on the head. That is empowering when you realize you control it. Well done ...
