Quit Smoking using patch, own question
I quit smoking today using nicotine patches. Has anyone else had sucess beside this? what other support system did you use with this? is it ok to have a short time ago 1 becuase i was smoking 1.5 packs a light of day and i need a cigarette so bad right very soon that i am about to die. Please give me your sucess stories, bomb stories, what helps, what hurts. Thank you.
Answer: Have you ever seen the commercial for Ruffles potato chips? "You can't put away just one" ...or something like that...
Same for cigarettes. Do you really have a sneaking suspicion that you can have JUST 1? Not likely. Besides, if you're using a patch you really shouldn't enjoy a cigarette for the risk of a nicotine overdose. The first 3 days will be the hardest, after that you should be on your way to a smoke free life.
Try the gum...it's MUCH better than it used to taster. Also, get some suckers, hard candy and regular bubble gum. Keeping your mouth busy beside those might help for the physical craving you are having.
GOOD LUCK!! Smoking is a horrible habbit and SO addictive it's fearsome!

I've tried the patches but by evening I'm craving a cigarette like crazy. Certain situations warrant a cigarette...next to that first cup of coffee, after a meal, having a cup of wine and will power gives out. Have started going outside to have one and that seem to have helped some especially when I've be trying to get that stinky smoke smell out of my house. Problem is I enjoy them even tho I know it's desperate for me. There's gotta be a way but I don't know it. Can't' use the gum as I have dentures and it sticks to them. I have been smoking 1 pack of 25 cigarettes a day ..never could even slow down ..folks around me would tell me to light up because they couldn't stand me ..I smoked for over 20 years ..even when I be pregnant (which I know wasn't the best thing to do) anyway ..a little over 7 years ago I fixed to get the nicotine patches wreak I couldn't get rid of a bad cold ..I started the patch in the middle of the week and didn't have a smoke till the weekend ..I of late couldn't stand it anymore so I took the patch off and smoked 1 ..I took the time to enjoy it knowing it be my last one ..i put the patch back on afterwards and that be it ..I have tried twice to smoke a cigarette in days gone by 7 years and each time they made me so sick ..it was satisfactory to convince me not to try again ..so I can assure you that there are some success stories around people who have used the patch ..good luck and don't give up :).
Toothpicks
Get a box of toothpicks and put together them your smokes for awhile.
Nothing worked for me.
You have to want to quit for good.
When I did near was no turning back.
Save the money on patch and pills!
Think of all the money you will save from quitting and make the addition of it up.When you get to that point in time..buy yourself a nice bequest : )
Smoking is for dummies.
You can still be cool and not smoke.
Its just stupid.
QUIT!!
You Can Do it!.
Hey!
okay first i just want to say aloud that
you will do it!
my father who has now be
smoke free for 8 years used the same
patch and although it was concrete he kept faith
and my family and i also offered support.
I suppose what kept him going was the fact that
he didn't want to die past he could see his
kids grow up. Anyways he also chewed gum
to keep his mouth busy at work. Another thing
that i believed to preserve his mind of things was
his art..he has other enjoyed drawing and
he did it a lot more during this time..
so the best i can update you for advice would be
keep busy. and remember that you receive one life to
live it's not worth throwing it away!
Also ask your family for support<3!
GOODLUCK
and believe within yourself..trust me
it is worth it in the end<333!!
