Day 6 - what a wastard.

Hey all, this is going to be a rant i am afriad.

Today has been taxing. I have had to drive to the shop for a chocolate bar to stop an urge. and at the pub where all my friends were smoking I ordered a apple crumble with custard instead lol There was a point i nearly said 'oh go on sort me a fag' but i didnt...and 15 minutes later i realised i was cool once again and happy I didnt muck it up.

I had a coke rather than a wine. Im just not there yet and I dont want to make it harder on myself than i need to. I have got drinking nights planned ahead at the end of the month, which as i feel atm i am not looking forward to.

The thing that annoys me about using NRT is that everyday i crave the same as yesterday, just my tolerance to it deminishes and i find it gets harder rather than easier. Cold turkey is AWFUL but once its over its over and you are cool again. So I am thinking ill just bite the bullet this weekend and just be ****** done with this. It just feels boring now i really have just had enough of this dependancy on doping my brain with nicotine. wasted energy delaying the inevitable.

sorry if it seems i am downing NRT, some people get on great with it I know, I just dont unfortunately.

Rant away Nikki - that's what the forum is for!

Well done for not caving at the pub - that's brilliant. I'm starting to feel the same as you about NRT (and the e cig). If I knew that after a few days it would be ok then I would give it all up too - but I'm not sure how long it lasts. My moods are so up and down even with the e cig and gum so I can't imagine what they would be like with nothing!

Good luck with it if you do pack in the NRT. Let us know how you get on.

I haven't heard that word for years!!

Sorry you're having a tough time - but basically everybody's different and we all quit differently. Personally I'd be smoking for sure without NRT but if you can go CT do it!!

What I'd do is have something you can take when you go to the pub - and only use it then, or to have as a backup in case you feel you're about to cave, thn go CT.

Well done for not caving, apple crumble is way better than a fag!!
