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

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:D

feel that this was a real test, and I PASSED!!!!!!:D: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. :D
