Frustration

Well iam 26 days smoke free and i have to say it has been the hardest thing i have ever done in my 61 years, i started smoking when i was 15yrs old and decided one day that (Only i could give them up...ME) if i could survive 61 years of LIFE and all it challenges then surly i could give the fags away. I started the QUIT program and was using double patches and the spray, which made me feel ill, so i changed to the lozenges which i have only used twice as i dont enjoy them at all, i am now down to one patch and i wish i could say its been easy but it has been extremely hard, but 26 days and counting. I have had no problem with not being able to sleep quite the opposite i find myself very lethargic and able to nap every day. The one thing i really am struggling with is how truthful i find myself now. It is like my filter between my brain and my mouth has been removed...lol most times not a great thing. I have less patience now then before and if i was being truthful i really didn't have much before. The hard time for me is after i eat a meal i still want that cigarette. But i tell myself everyday how well i have done so far and today will be better than yesterday. I don't miss being a smoker but i really miss that cigarette :)

26 days without is a huge win. I know how hard it is, having had many failed attempts. Keep going mate. Hardest days are behind you!

well done Carlsy
I,m using the spray for now but thinking of using patches as well. Did that help you more ?. I am only 5 days into not having a ciggy and I am using the spray about 3 times a day.
26 days is amazing keep up the good work.
