Day 6..!

[nsd_user663_64072]

Hi all!

I stopped on 26 may. this is day 6!

To be honest.. the first 2-3 was not too hard for me but by day 4 i started to struggle! Probably because i have run out of patches. today is total hell!! and i'll be amazed if i last the day without having atleast one!

Maybe a bit about myself!

Im 29 and started smoking 20 a day from the age of 19 or so. I choose to quit because eventually its going to affect my health. even tho it costs £9 / £10 for one box. the main reason is i dont want to get ill! Im going to buy patches again tomorrow. The first 3days i had a patch and the cravings was not bad (i could ignore them fairly easy) 4-6 days are tough! everything seems sooo boring now lol

Wow day six is brilliant big pat on the back for you x I hope you manage to hold off a get some more patches soon and if not don't let it deter put the patch on and go again and again keep going and trying if one thing I've learnt it's you don't fail until you stop trying xxxx

One of the worse things at the moment... bleeding gums!

Yep, corsodyl should work. You only need to use it for a couple of days when gums bleed. Constant use stains teeth, and us non-smokers will never be found with stained teeth.

Congratulations and good going on your quit. Keep it going as you're of course right, health issues will build up. And post on here frequently, visit daily.
