Day 3
Day 3 has started off interestingly - got pretty drunk last night, but didn't smoke yay! Was hitting the inhaler pretty hard though lol
So this morning was a bit of a struggle - hung over, sore all over from starting up exercise again this week and that time of the month (sorry if that's TMI). Thought to myself that I'd wait til I got to work to put my patch on after I'd had my morning coffee and banana. An hour later, I started feeling woozy, hot flushes, and almost passed out at my desk! Had to take the patch off :-/ I think I almost OD'ed on nicotine lol so today I'll just be sticking to the gum, but I think I'll get the weaker patches, I was using the 21mg ones. Besides, I think NRT has a bit of a placebo effect sometimes too - thoughts?
Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings. I'm also happy to report that I haven't been grumpy or cranky yet, I'm hoping my positive outlook continues :o)

Keep up the good work Diana! I'm on the strong patches and haven't felt as you did..and isn't that inhaler good lol!! I refuse to buy any refills so just sucking on a bit of plastic, especially when on the phone.
Good luck with it, you can do it!!

Thanks so much! I'm pretty proud that I've gone the whole day so far with just the gum after my episode this morning, but got some weaker patches for back up just in case :o)
The long weekend might be a challenge, but just going to try and lay low, and keep getting healthy!

i also had a day like that and switched to smaller patches. I went back to the stronger ones after a slip up and haven't experienced anything like it again, it was about day 8 don't know if that has something to do with it???
