well I seem to have made it to day 10 with ease so far!!! but then I do have a patch on! 2 more weeks of this high strength one then will start cutting down on the strength of the patches! maybe thats when the hard work will really begin?
day 10 and going strong: well I seem to have... - No Smoking Day
day 10 and going strong
Well done double figures is great.
Don't get too concerned about the patch, but be aware that when you step down a strength there may be a slight increase in cravings. That can last a few days but then your body will become accustomed to the lower level of nicotine and settle back into how it was feeling before.
All the best

i have had the first real craving I think? but maybe i'm just nervous as have a date tomorrow......::confused: dunno my stomach seems a bit weird!
If its like its turning knots :).. then thats both the date and likely a little iddy bit of a craving.. not much more.. it will pass. Different story once you are there, good luck, hope it goes well
and congrats on coming this far too!
Well done Bextala , i'm on day 9 with patches and inhalor, but im kinda on a day at a time , i'll worry about when they cut down the strength WHEN(trying to be positive ) i get there , it seems to be a bit of a struggle for me at times , one minute im ok then im thinking of a fag but im getting there , good luck on the date .
all the best

Ten days - double figures - fantastic! Well done you!
Date went really well seeing as we had 3 kids between us and took them swimming. Felt really nervous before he came to my house, and then I really missed smoking because thats what I do when i'm nervous (or did) and then he has just left, so feel I can relax now so am missing smoking as thats what I do after a stressfull situation (thats what I did):D
feel that this was a real test, and I PASSED!!!!!!:D
Hi Bextala.
Glad the date went well. You must feel proud that you managed the situation without reaching for a fag. As you said, that's what you WOULD have done, but you are now a non smoker.
