Day#25 of NO SMOKING

[DSMOMOF4]

 It's day #25 that I made the decision to stop smoking. I'm using the patch right now hoping I won't need the patch much longer hoping to be able to just say no without any patch or gum.  I ended up having to use the gum the patch's adhesive made me break out and itch like crazy, but I'm stiil smoke free for 1 month and 3 days

Just a tip... stay the course with the patch.  I tried quitting SIX times and every time I would think I was ok without the patch and stop buying them since they were so expensive.  Each time, I would fail miserably.  I finally went the entire ten weeks on the patch on my sixth try and that was when I was successful.  I have been cigarette free for 14 months now!

Wean down to the 4mg patch....but if any yearnings, keep using the patch.  My doctor said its way better to be using the patch and depend on the patch then to go back to smoking.
