He said that he actually stooped to do it once--and that was it. He was cured.<br /><br />Don't know if that would work for you, but I thought I would throw it out there.AMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214327145680310059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-49202312938159676172010-03-13T13:22:41.805-05:002010-03-13T13:22:41.805-05:00The fact that you slept during your nap makes it s...The fact that you slept during your nap makes it seem you needed it. Be kind in your self talk. You are doing a tremendous service for yourself. <br />I admire your having done the hot yoga. I bet that will be a terrific detox.<br />The cravings do cycle back on you. I think it helps to know they will come. I've heard some people say they come at longer and longer intervals. The good news is you hold on and they pass. They aren't constant all the time, like when you first give it up.<br />I haven't smoked since 1986. I used to think by the time I am old there will be a healthy cigarette and I will smoke again. Lately I am sickened by cigarette smoke so much I don't even want a healthy one, if there were such a thing.<br />A few times I dreamed I smoked and I woke up horrified till I realized it was only a dream.J.B.http://jbvadeboncoeur.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-71714223073985656912010-03-12T12:32:55.927-05:002010-03-12T12:32:55.927-05:00Give yourself a pat gurl ..the hardest decision wa...Give yourself a pat gurl ..the hardest decision was the decision to quit and you're past that and you'll get past this too .. and you have so many friends to support you :)<br />So cheer up and if it makes you ne better guess what i asked you your birthday and we share the same birthday ..im jst 2 yrs younger bt 15th jan ..yayyyyyyyyyy !!!<br />Happy weekend girlPria https://www.blogger.com/profile/17757222239521759725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-58911285751407798402010-03-11T23:46:39.114-05:002010-03-11T23:46:39.114-05:00Sending good thoughts your way for a better day to...Sending good thoughts your way for a better day tomorrow!!!shortmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083148312260283511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-59334776927328472212010-03-11T21:59:39.007-05:002010-03-11T21:59:39.007-05:00Hang in there!

But I've tried to give up sugar and coffee on occasions and have SERIOUS withdrawals, headaches, and so on. You can do it.

Do you get wicked dreams with the patch? My husband always did. Luckily, I didn't. Mine are bad enough as it is. You may find you don't even have to do the whole 10 week program. My husband and I have quit together a few times. Because one or the other starts smoking again. Ugh We always buy one box of patches and share them. He gets 4, I get 3. The last time I quit was at the end of September and I'm still going strong. We're here supporting you....keep up the awesome work!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157145739599230080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-28800497134913536722010-03-11T18:09:09.790-05:002010-03-11T18:09:09.790-05:00oh, i totally get that whole "wish i never st...oh, i totally get that whole "wish i never started" thing. dammit, i LOVED SMOKING. i wish i had never, EVER lit that first one.<br /><br />the first couple of times that i tried to quit with the patch, i only wore it during the day; never to bed. this last time, when i finally quit, i wore the patch 24/7. since this is the recommended way for some smokers, i don't think it's necessary to give yourself a few hours between patches. once you take the patch off, nicotine is not being absorbed through your skin. i don't know how long it takes for the nicotine that is in your sub-cutaneous layer to fully be absorbed, but i don't think it's anything to be worried about. i think the only time you'd need to worry about that is if you were going to take your patch off and HAVE A SMOKE, which you're NOT, so you don't need to worry about waiting a few hours between patches. check with a pharmacist if you're unsure about anything.<br /><br />i feel your pain. you'll get through it. when i was going through it, my method of dealing with things was to silently pout and fume in my head about how effing UNFAIR life was being to me.<br /><br />it WILL get easier.Stone Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141709907613987429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991128854437746828.post-40205974598781480512010-03-11T17:18:07.823-05:002010-03-11T17:18:07.823-05:00It DOES get easier.
