Still going strong at day 15, still on the patches and will stick with them as ive brought enough for a 10 week quit programme! still got a sore throat and occasionally it feels like a really sharp scratching pain, keep having to stop and clear my throat whilst talking but fingers crossed that will go soon, its doing my head in !
day 15 now: Still going strong at day 1... - No Smoking Day
day 15 now
I've been having interesting feelings in my throat for the past few weeks...fingers crossed it's just to do with both the cold I had a few weeks back and the fact I've not smoked for a while!
Good going on the 15 days!
I don't think the patches help with other side effects. I tried patches on my first quite and gave them up after an hour! Nocotine cravings had nothing on how crap the patches made me feel
Keep on going!
Hey grim reaper, well done on your day 15 ...sore throat is your body healing nicely. patches do take the edge off the quit I think, , i would personally keep going on them until you feel ready to stop them. everyone is different of course! but i think they are fab
thanks for the replies its 18 days now ! still dont have alot of motivation to do much around the house, feeling quite tired, and got a bit of chest pain! (i think ive pulled a muscle though from coughing up phlegm lol) will see how it goes! anyway still smokefree so thats a bonus, the housework can wait
Well done to you all. This is day 21 for me, and I can certainly relate to the tiredness and lack of motivation - I still feel like a bit of a zombie. Still, one thing at a time, although it would be nice to see some rewards kicking in sometime soon!
well done you two keep up the good work im just about to start my week of night shifts which means all kind of routine is out the window anyway so ill be a tired lazy mess by saturday anyway!
