Good for you! I know it's been a while since you've posted LolaCabanna, I hope you have found continued success in your quit & if not, try try again!
Tomorrow is one week for me & I've been using the patch. I'm 31, smoked regularly since just before turning 18 & probably had my 1st cig when I was 9 or 10. This is my 1st real attempt at quitting & I'm hoping to just need one. I feel like I'm going insane, though!
I've had two puffs off of a cig & that's it as far as cheating. I've seen numerous posts around the net of people having one here & there & still being ok & it's sooo tempting. I'm trying to find a reason to justify having just oneeeee. I'm really struggling with the physical withdrawals. The patch was very helpful the first 3/4 days but since I feel like they're broken. :/
Anyway, I know it gets easier but will take time & effort. And strength! I'm committed to quitting, I just wish it didn't hurt so much. :/
