I'm worried about going back to work tomorrow. I think that is a huge trigger for me, especially on my breaks! Not to mention, the stress...It is tax season and it makes it crazy busy at work. I will drink LOTS of water and maybe read or something on my breaks...I may have to do the "I'm not smoking for 5 minutes" thing, 5 minutes at a time until the craving passes. I don't know why it is so hard to quit this time!
I'm glad for this thread. It does help to have a place to vent about it and also for support and it does give me more strength that I would have if I were doing this completely on my own.
You all ROCK!!

Keep using them..they are slowing or stopping the process probably...trust me..

Funny story that happened yesterday:

I had my sister put my patch on me. It needs to be taped on because they will not stay on my skin for nothing due to meopause..ha
Well last night I had 2 smokes..irrated myself but still on the program.
Found out this morning, that when she taped it on she didnt pull the tab off..so I only got a tiny piece of the patch all day..ha

So today, the patch is on right..but it does help.

I am using nicoderm patches. They seem to be the best for me.

That is funny! You did really well with only a partial patch !

So far today, no smoking...Will do my best to stay strong tomorrow! Maybe I'll treat myself to a little chocolate instead of a smoke on my break...I guess that may not be the best substitution, but maybe for tomorrow it is okay

Way to go!!! Keep up the good work! Btw, fruit is a very good thing to eat when your quitting instead of sweets. I have had some sweets but mostly eat fruits. One because they are sweet but they are a free food so to speak. And great for you. Also vegies are great also and a free food as well. Both are full of only good calories.
