31 years on this earth, 20 years a smoker
I am 18days smoke free. I went cold turkey until today, today i got the 14mg patch. Cravings are hard, and i have been feeling yuck, like im coming down with a cold. I have abused my poor lungs for so long, its going to take a while for them to get rid of the gunk. I have never tried giving up before, so am pretty proud of the effort so far. When the cravings strike, i almost feel like i want to cry for a moment, then im ok. I am starting to get a bit wary of the moodswings, its so out of character for me, is anyone else finding they are getting really moody? How long will it last? I love reading your stories, and yes every ciggarette i dont smoke is doing me good!
I hope going on the patch was a good idea after 18days smoke free...maybe i should just use the patch when i am socialising with friends?
Oh thanks Maree, and congratulations to you, 5 weeks what a star...! I hope im not going to be a b*tch on wheels for too much longer, i might end up a smoke free divorcee!
