Will I step down, 6weeks tonight
I am at the STEP 2 stage of the patches. When I wake tom. I should start STEP 2 ,but am feeling a bit worried. It needs to be done I guess but I am a bit nervous.
Hi Marg
I am almost at 8 weeks and after my first 4 weeks I went to get my next supply of patches and my dr had made a script for the same dosage (21mg) and I almost freaked as I thought I would never be rid of the patches so what I have done is cut them in half so that they will last me 2 months now instead of 1. Some days I even forget to put one on but I am getting a bit smarter now and putting some in my hand bag.
Keep up the good work.

Hi all. I decided to go another week. ANZAC Day was and is the most emotional day for me as my Dad died that day as well. But I did realise how I emotional smoked so to stay a non smoker decided to extend the step 1 patches for 2 weeks to be sure. Yes am sweating/nervous about it but am getting in the mind set to step down and be ready for that day. I feel I will be ok as my patch fell off yesterday and didnt know for a few hours when craving got stronger,just proved that I can do it. :) I am in shock that I have made day 44 now , the longest I have gone in 30yrs
OK , yesterday I felt ill like I had smoked too much type feeling so thought that step 1 may just be too strong now and so after suggesting to others to face fears have decided to try step 2 today. feeling semi confident but giving it a good try. Will step up if I struggle.
Hi Marg, we started to quit about the same time and I to have just moved to step 2 patches I did find it a bit harder but when i get a bad craving, and I have had a few, I just think how far I have come and how much I have to lose if I give in stay strong and hang in there, we can do it together
Hi Dotty Have stepped down to step 2 am having a few cravings but not as bad as I thought. Thanks and you hang in there as well, yes we have come a long way and not ready to give in .
