Not one puff

Just checking in ....have started again....no cigs , ashtrays or lighter will ever come in my home again,not one puff will ever happen again for I have learnt my lesson....have used a patch today and not one craving....will continue to use patch for a week then go cold turkey again...all have a smoke free weekend.

YAY,
I just commented on your other post but regardless, I'm so happy for you.
Not one puff!!! They saying has helped so many people!!
I sincerely believe this time is it for you xx

Thanks Kim......feel much better tonigh just going to forget the slip up and keep going smoke free.

Hi red-67 never thought of that,so I will slowly taper off , but I really won't to flush the nicotine out quickly that why I would like to go cold turkey, so here is the plan .....patches for a week and then taper off the next week.....then cold turkey and then if craving are bad I will put patch on for a few hours.....what do you think.

Hiya,
I know that you desperately want to quit cold turkey and are only wearing a patch until you get your mindset back.
So with cold turkey in mind and getting rid of the patch in a week, I would reduce the amount of time you wear it for the day by an amount of time you feel comfortable with every day. Perhaps you will start gaining you're confidence back that way and then when you're ready, see how you go.
As you would know, the patch isn't giving you big rushes of nicotine, far from it.
You're on track young lady xx
