As its now 10pm on the same night i gave up 6 weeks ago, i'm just off to watch a film n sink a very nice bottle of wine.. i've made it to the 7th week and as posted in my previous day 42 post... am now as of tomorrow morning when i wake up stepping down in patch strength to the 14mg smaller patches.
Feeling very happy to do so, and really happy to have come this far. I like the idea of less nicotine on the patches as its a major step now in the direction I want to head in, the end objective is in 4 weeks where i will have no patches at all after that.. perhaps less, i'll see how i go really.
These forums are great and seeing other folk succeeding with their quits has also been a major confidence boost.
Peace to you all! Keep up the good work everyone!

Rightho, tis 12:45am. As i typically hate mondays, and find them the toughest to deal with in my week, i'm off for some shut-eye.
If anyone's up awake still, and perhaps struggling a bit.. try n relax and get yourself off to sleep if you can, soon be morning and thats x amount more hours you'll have gone..
It is so far, but made all the better when i keep reading folk further on posting that they have gone 4/5/6/7/8+ months or more
They are an inspiration, and if i can inspire anyone just starting out to make that first step, and keep on taking strides then i'll feel even now that on my 7th week that folk have got real hope. They just need to stick at this and see it through.. and continue to do so.
Todays been pretty ok, the only things bugging me in work today are outside of the realms of my control, and are not something i can change no matter how much i would have normally stressed.. its surprised me really but i've not worried on it, and i've just forwarded it on to the folk who need to know about it... bit of a pass the parcel but hey!.
and craving subsided about about 8 mins (or it seemed like 8 )
These after lunch ones are the only ones i think i notice now.. i seem to 'sigh' a bit i'm told during the day, but i guess thats me just gritting my teeth n dealing with it hehe
