I've started day 1

[nsd_user663_27595]

Finally, managed to get up and put the patch straight on, so I havent smoked since about 11.30 last night.

I dont feel to bad, but am regretting wearing my denim jacket - it wreaks of smoke already! Is that normal? :confused:

Good luck to anyone else on day 1 today

Hi Connie - your stats are similar to mine except i am a teensy bit older than you!

Smelling the smoke is quite normal, even after a few hours of abstaining. When i would go to my mum's, who is a non smoker, by the time i left, i could smell my own clothes - it just seems to become more prominent when you haven't smoked.

Also, I am going to have to wash all of my 'smalls' because i opened the drawer and the smell hit me! Everything in there is fresh and clean, i have to say, but because we smoked everywhere in the house, the smoke had crept in!

The patches really are brilliant. I feel i can function perfectly normally with no massive cravings, so i can deal with breaking the habit. Day 16 for me and all is well.

All the very best with your quit

Great news Connie, I wish you well.

I have a suit that was rushed into the dry cleaners like it contained the plague 2 weeks ago.

Amazing how clothes retain the smell but as a smoker you can't smell it and as a non-smoker you can't bear it.

Good luck !

Well done Connie, good girl! You can and will do this!

I opened an envelope containing paperwork that I only use about once a month the other day. YUK YUK YUK

MrsCP I am soooo glad to come across someone else who smoked in their house. Been feeling quite ashamed when everyone else pon here has been smoking outside! Mind you I don't have children so I suppose I've less reason to go outside!!

Time is going so slowly though, the clock needs to get a wriggle on!!
