HI gal =)
Well, I had tryed with the patch a few times
this summer but i just would take it off
after 6 hours or so and smoke. My boyfriend
said, just leave it on and dont smoke. I know
that sounds ridiculous, but its actually what
I did. I just decided that enough was enough
and that I had to decide that that day was it.
There was no more wishywashy with it. ANd
I came home from work that day smoked 3
cigs on the way home, got home and just
sayd this has to be the end. I put on a patch
and ended up taking it off late that nite and
having one cigarette. (I was a little drunk tho
i think thats why).The next day i woke up and my bf sayd, "put
on your patch NOW". And i did,, and i just
wouldnt smoke. And i did that for two weeks,
but i told him everytime i wanted one and
he sayd yu dont want it youreally dont. and
every day that went by, i felt a lot stronger nad
i knew it would be easier and i knew that
if i smoked, i would have to start all over and
each day became a huge amount of power
for me. And i also found a cigarette
counter online that you tell it when you quit
how much you smoked and how much they
cost and it tells you how many cigs you havent
smoked since you quit and how much money
you saved.Then i bought myself a present when i got
to $100.ITs wonderful not smokeing and I rellly loved
smoking when i was a smoker. IF i can do
it anyone can. Really. I hadnt gone a day
without a cig since i was about 16. Well
except when i was in the hospital and they
put the patch on me.The thing that helped me the most was
having a friend to listen to me vent.ITs much easier after a week or so.
