Quit smoking using the patches, 4 days and counting!

I got the patches 5 days ago and its been 4 going on 5 days without a cigarette. I was sick of coughing up stuff and not being able to go running anymore. Plus they stink up my car and they are becoming ever more expensive. I just thought id post and give others an option in quitting. They help with the cravings alot, the first couple of days you can feel a slight buzz....


:cookie;

:beer::beer:

I quit right before Christmas, cold turkey. No patches, and still going. I went to the bar the other night, and didn't have a smoke!!!


Good luck:beer:

 

Ya it was tough last night, i got piss drunk at a concert at a club and it was tempting. To be honest though, riding in the car and when im stressed is the worst times though.....

How many a day did you smoke before? I heard the patch and those pills were for people who smoke a pack a day or more.

 

I was almost up to a pack a day.
1/2 a pack for almost 3 years.

Is it true that those patches give you some seriously f'd up dreams?

 

lol, funny u should say that. Last night i went to bed really drunk and the other nights i took it off to avoid that. I left it on last night and wow.... I wouldnt say fuct up, more like lucid........

LMAO!

That's wayyy better than the side effects I got from the Wellbutrin I took when quitting tobacco. It locked me up tighter than Ft. Knoxb for a bit. No poopies for like a week at a time sometimes... and then it felt like you were dropping chisled tombstones. :Q

At least it worked.

I smoked a pack a day, sometimes more. I just chew cinnamon gum for about the first 2 weeks, no patches.

A friend at work who smokes went to some kind of shrink/psychiatrist, next day he quit smoking.
He hasnt had a smoke in two years and has no cravings whatsoever, it only cost him a 100 bucks.
I find it wierd, but hey it worked for him.

Congratulations!
Do yourself a favor and never smoke again!
I would say "good luck" but there is no luck to it.

Got it!

They were a bit pricey, though . . ..

Crazy f'd up dreams, here I come!

Uh....right. So instead of being a smoker and quitting, you're probably getting yourself addicted to nicotine. Nice work.

 

[Feldenak]

Cheers!

Keep it up. From what I've heard, the 3rd week is the roughest for most people.

I cheated last night and had a smoke....I'm good until March now.

 

Ya it has been going great! I did cheat during a really stressful night last week but i have been good since. The cravings are totally bearable now in the car which is great.
