Day 1 & the nicibate patches
So far so good although at this stage I'm feeling like one now. Did anyone have any trouble with the patch? Ii only had it on a few hours and it started to come off; I ended up putting another clear dressing over it!!
I went cold turkey. But have seen other people on this site suggest sticking them on your butt. Seems its a common problem that they don't stick all that well. I'm guessing the pressure of sitting down combined with your undies helps keep them in place. Plus a butt patch is more hidden than one on your arm!!!!!!
Yeah Gayld, on my first 2 days, I felt like one every 5 seconds - not exagerating! Tonight, just go to bed early dude. Can't smoke when you're asleep! NO SLIP-UPS!!!!Stay strong! We believe you can do it ... grand-daughter's birthday just around the corner!!
I can't miss my footy tonight!! I have resisted it so far but if I do get the urge bad tonight I'll go to bed!!
Freakboy, I'll try the patch on my butt tomorrow!
Hello, I had trouble with the patches coming off too, I stuck them on with medical tape. I don't know about anyone else but I never wore them while I was sleeping, it made me have a terrible night. I just woke up first thing i did was put on a patch
hi Gayld Good luck, remember we are all with you!! Didn't use patches o can't help there, but agree with Mickey about going to bed..maybe try and change up your morning routine a little bit tomorrow to make it easier, and i went for lot of walk in the first week or two..away from a shop with no money on you to avoid the temptation to buy any. Drink water when you feel like a smoke, whatever you have to do to distract yourself. Keep reminding yourself that you are stronger than the smokes and your granddaughter doesn't deserve to not have her grandma around. :)
Congratulation Gayld!! now GO TO BED!!! Have a great healthy day tomorrow! Be proud!!
It's 11:10 am and No smokes!!! But the urge is really bad this morning; I'm keeping myself busy; cleaning windows etc!! I don't know if I could do this without everyone here; I did mention my daughters as support but unfortunately neither of them has rung to see how I'm going and so I'm a wee bit annoyed but this has given me even more motivation. You know..."I don't need your help, I can do this by myself". I understand that they are both busy but how long does it take for a quick call or even a text!!
Ok, I've had my whinge, I'd better get back to the windows!! HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!
stay strong gayld 100 days now smoke free with help of the patches and yeh stick them on your butt cheek they never fall off.i have some windows u can clean if u like lol
No, it gets easier every day Gayld. You're going through the worst of it now! You're doing great!!!!!!!!!!!
