gonzo&hispeeps :
Well, I woke up all sad and stuff, my DH said it was a side effect of the patch. IDK... I'm not depressed though! I did however take a hit off a cigarette! And got deathly, deathly sick! I guess thats a good thing? I can still taste it. Its strong, and gross!
So, I put the patch back on, and here I am! I don't have any cravings right now, but I will... Especially after I eat! I'll have to get more gum handy. I think I can beat this!
Don't think you can beat it
Say I know I can beat this!!!!
As far as you hitting one it is bound to happen I'm glad you got sick (not to be mean or anything)but that is your bodies way of telling you that you don't need to smoke.
The brain and body do weird things when you quit that is why you wake up sad and stuff but your not depressed, as for the gum like I said before
Wal-Mart sells a big 160some odd peice's of gum in a bucket like an ice cream bucket plus they also sell it in bags it is Double bubble and I will tell you them buckets are great for your Hubby's shop or to hold change in, gathering eggs, I use them all over the house here I have so many of them lol.
Don't think the habit of reaching for a smoke after you eat or anything will go away anytime soon, it has been a year and I still reach for one but now I just grab some gum and start chewing it.
I told the Doctor I need a quit chewing gum program now that I stopped smoking
I am glad to see you are sticking to your guns way to go we are proud of you.
ETA:You wanna get the house clean of nicotine and everything so you will not smell the smokey smell in the house that will also cause you to want a smoke, all you do is wash all the walls and ceiling's in the house this goes for anyone wanna see what your lungs look like after years of smoking wash down your walls the brown stuff that will be creeping down your walls well that is nicotine that is what your putting into your lungs and the lungs of your children by smoking I didn't notice how nasty my walls were from smoking till I washed them down and seen it rolling down the walls now my house smells so much cleaner and the walls are so much brighter.......give it shot on a nice warm day open the windows up and wash down one wall at a time change water often you will see why.
