Don't give up on Yourself

I have tried to quit a few times over the years, the longest being 2 years. Every time I found an overload of difficulties I was faced with and got through. I forgot an important thing. Reward yourself. Be kind to Self. Yes I did with a smoke. Last week I chose to use Nicotine Patches but discovered I had massive dizziness, so painful I took the patch off and later had a smoke. I went for 6 days without. This time I will read up on developing my will power and go cold turkey.

Hi Red-67, Thanks for your message. I started cutting down over a month ago. Then, had a patch on for 6 days. I have had 2 smokes today. What I should have done was have some juice to combat the sugar decrease.
Great work. You are doing well.

Hi Kelly,
Just wondering if the dizziness has stopped
for you now? It may or may not be patches but we
are all different. I've noticed my blood pressure
has dropped since quitting which can cause
dizziness also. I'm on patches but not
experiencing bad dizziness.
Hope you're feeling better.

Hi Kim26, thanks for the message, the dizziness has stopped. But I did have to put my patch on again this morning. phew

Hi Kelly,
So glad to hear the dizziness has stopped and
hope you are finding the patches useful.
I wear mine for around 12 hours a day
because I can't sleep with it on due to
nightmares.

Hi Kim26,
I don't wear the patch at night either, don't have nightmares but lots of dreams that get a bit muggled and wake me up
