I've been having good results using 14mg. Patch.

I've been bothered by this the whole time. Even tried to read the book again but I was too disillusioned

Now I just read it again and stopped smoking 3 days ago. And it's been....somewhat different. The only real effort appears to be mental. It's all mental for me. I'm scared of the addiction mindset - the one that says I like smoking. I enjoy it. Life is dull without it. I'll never deal with stress well so it's only a matter of time cause I'm weak. All these things are lies for me but they seem SO real.

I am still trying to work out why I started up again after 4 years smoke free. I am thinking I missed a central message when I read the book. I didn't believe it. I thought I had to have a substitute ie food, internet, etc. I used willpower - at least initially. Once I broke the habit piece and physiological triggers etc. it got easier and easier. But I stayed vulnerable. I was vulnerable and that's how I started up again. I don't want to be vulnerable like that so am trying to wrap my brain around the concept of just stopping without willpower. Like changing my mind - to where I don't want to smoke. Because I really don't - it contributes greatly to my mental stuff.

I just needed to get this out there....Anyone relate?[/QUOTE]
Thanks for this!
