Day 8 And Its Getting Harder

I am using patches and am on my 8th day without fags. Its getting harder. I do feel a little better in the mornings but not that good that I dont want a smoke. I would love one now. I feel I will never be happy again, but am determined to keep at it. I have saved approx £70. Can anyone tell me how you work out how many days you have added to your life??

To find out how many days you have saved off your life, type in quit smoking counter on google and download one :D

I know how you feel about the 8th day.

I originally quit on the 1st of January this year and kept having blips until this last quit, for some reason i just couldnt get past that 2nd week.

Between days 8 and 12 i just found unbearable. I am using patches too and have been from the start. When i started this quit, i went to see the nurse and told her the patches alone wasnt enough and she prescribed me some nicotine gum and thats what pulled me through the 2nd week. Everytime i had a nasty craving in that 2nd week i chewed a piece of gum, and its absolutely disgusting. It tastes just like chewing on a fag end so every time i ate some it reminded what it would taste like to have a fag and it put me off.

Get through that second week and im sure you`ll fly through :D
