Day 16 on patches....
So, I’ve started on the highest patch, the Nicobate P 21mg/24hour ones. Got them on a script from my doctor. Saved a lot of money!
I have to say, I never thought patch could help me so much. No cravings, medium withdrawals (I was a heavy smoker), no cough as yet, and mentally, I have not struggled one bit (yet haha)
I’m going to step down this Friday, as I’ve noticed these patches are feeling too strong for me now, getting nauseous, feeling generally off. Plus, these patches don’t stick! I have to use bandaids to hold them all day. I do take them off at night, I don’t want those vivid dreams hahaa.
I still have a long way to go, but I think I’ve got the positive mindset this time.
No-one is alone in their quit journey, whether it’s their 1st, or 10th attempt!
Well done quitting Jess. I quit cold turkey 5 wks ago. I hope you continue to breeze through your quit journey.
Thank you Haydee! I’m expecting it to be harder once I’m off the patches, at least the physical stuff haha
Surprisingly, mentally, I’m doing well. Haven wanted a smoke really, only the craving side. I’m loving the extra money too! Haha
