State why you are/have quit over and over
Hi Everyone
Well, I have been posting some of you the last few days that I thought it was time I did my own personal story. To tell you the truth, I only just found where and how to place my story. Anyway here goes:
40 days ago I made the decision to stop smoking. Now I have given up many times before (cold turkey and the use of a herbal drink) and even my last attempt I said I would never quit again. Well I am glad I lied. This time I have been using the patches. For me they are working as I have not even craved a cigarette and nor have I been angy which is what I was all the time previously when I quit. I am really not sure what I feel, but it is almost like I was never a smoker if that makes sense. As I said, I haven't craved a cigarette and apart from my first 2 weeks I did eat a bit more but I have increased my time at the gym and go each day with sometimes going twice a day. I am eating normally now so hopefully I can lose some weight too. My only side effects would be the dizziness and loss of memory at times. I am more concerned with being dizzy so i will be making a call to see the doctor soon just in case it has nothing to do with the patches.
Anyway I wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to hearing and reading all the stories. Remember, we can all do this.
Cheers
