Hello and welcome to the forum.

So Maverick's been recruiting!

8 days is great, hang in there its so worth it.

Its worthwhile having a browse through the links in my signature, to gain some inspiration and information about nicotine addiction and what to expect while quitting. If you look on quitting as a positive thing rather than a sacrifice it is easier.

The physical withdrawal is only a small part of it, breaking the association with smoking is what takes the time, but if you have the right mindset then it all kind of falls into place.

Best wishes

Nic

Day 8 for me today also. Pat on the back for both of us. Two days ago I forgot to put my patch on until after midday, so decided not to bother. Didn't know whether this was foolish after being fag-free for a few days. Anyhow, had a few craves throughout the day and chewed a bit of NRT gum instead. In total I used 5 pieces, the same yesterday. So far today I've not had a crave and so haven't had any gum. I've turned into a very windy person though!!!! x

Hi Pauline

Being windy is normal it to will pass
