Reading all my messages got me through day 1

[nsd_user663_59644]

Mornings bad for me, but am going to not smoke to day,

hope the cravings not to bad.

Patch well and truly stuck to me , I know it's cheating but ct is to hard I thnk, not that I've tried, and if I did try ct what happens?

All have lovely day so enjoy

Tracey, patches aren't cheating

There's no right or wrong way to quit. CT is the right way for some people, NRT for others. Personally, I could never have made it through the first month without my patches.

Don't you dare go feeling inadequate because you're using patches!

Just hold on in there and congratulate yourself on your massive achievement so far.

Of course patches aren't cheating! Anything that gets you through is totally fine (well beyond illegal stuff, like murdering someone obviously :D)

Seriously, don't ever feel as though using something to help you through those first days and weeks is cheating. What you're doing is a tremendous thing and so well worth it.

Keep soldiering on

Agreed, patches definitely aren't cheating, the only thing that's cheating is smoking a real cigarette! Well done on day 2 keep going

P.s if you went CT nothing would happen as such but for the first few days the cravings and mood swings are intense, I think it's because of the all or nothing scenario.....with patches you wean off the nicotine with CT it's the shock method lol it wasn't for me but has worked perfectly well for lots of members on here xx

Well done Tracey, you are doing really well And using patches is not cheating, having a stinky fag whilst pretending to yourself and everyone else you've quit is cheating and I know you won't do that :cool: As I said yesterday, stop being so hard on yourself, direct the negative feelings to Nic and focus on the positive, you can do this

Tracey patches, lozenges, Champix whatever helps you is not CHEATING :eek:

That's what these things are for, to help you quit - they are an AID to quitting,

use them as and when you need to.

You keep going, it isn't easy whichever way you do it, but it is a tremendous

thing to do and it is doable.

It doesn't happen overnight unfortunately.

Much strength to you. bb x
