Went to the clinic for the second week and have set my quit date for this Wednesday 8th March. Going to stick my patch on in the morning and then might go back to bed till it starts working as I normally get up make a cuppa and have 2 cigs :lol:
I do feel very positive this time tho, so hopefully I will succeed with help from the quit clinic, patches and all of you :D

Group at the clinic at the hospital CC, some of the peole there are very negative about doing it tho, had to puff in the carbon monoxide machine this week for 1st time and then hopefully next Monday it will show a big 00 :lol: :lol:
Thanks for the tips :D

[crazy chick]

probably frightened of failing.

Best thing to do , If your feeling Low or Down & you are thinking about lighting up ( Think 1st ) then post on here & im sure you`ll get moral support , Im gonna Quit again on Friday 10th & if we all stick together on here & check it regularly im sure we can all succeed…….!!!

Last time I was on the 24hr patches funny thing was though …… It was the nightmares from them but after a while they go which is a shame really as I was getting quite fond of them & was very dissapointed when they stopped pml .

Anyway I was told to tell the nurse I smoked 30 a day so she would give us the 24hr 21mlg patches but I only usually smoked about 10 – 15 a day so the first two weeks were easy probably cos I was getting more nicotine from the patches than I did from the cigs lmao , Anyway I then dropped to 14mg patches for a further two weeks which wasnt hard either…. Then I made the BIG mistake of thinking I dont really need to go on the 7mlg patches as I felt ok but believe me you have to ween yourself off them Im told & I now believe it to be true too….

Anyways good luck everyone & I hope this helps in some way …… :)

Ugo over & out
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well got thro the 1st day yesterday with help from everyone and by taking down the nets and cleaning.
First thing in the morning was hard when I had my cuppa so came on the computer an chatted to friends.
Next hiccup was going out to lunch but friend took me to a no smoking place, i was fine till i had finished my meal then all i could think about was having a ciggy, but i got thro it ok.
Next hiccup was when i couldn’t thread the wire thro the nets, if i had had any ciggys in the house i would have had one then, but i didnt, so i didnt :lol: took a deep breath sipped my water wandered thro the rooms and then tryed again calmly, success.
After dinner came on computer and chatted in forum and that was good took my mind of them.
Did have lots of strange dreams, cant say they were nightmares just very strange ones
Have got thro today again with help from all my friends and going to Salsa dancing tonight so that shouldn’t be a problem for me.
Dont think I could have done it so far if I had ciggys in the flat so glad i smoked them all before i started and the 24 hour patches have definitely helped.
This thread has been a great help too :D

[crazy chick]

but i didnt , :?
i am still sucking on the lozenges , :D and the worse case i was gonna roll up me patch and smoke that but luckily , the feeling past :D
