So today after having severe dizziness and almost vomitting from stomach pain, I re read any side effects I should worry about from wearing the patch....turns out I had nicotine poisoning from starting out on the wrong dosage 😢 I encourage all newbies considering the patch to really read dosage recommendations. Day 6 and still a non smoker!!!
Warning : So today after having severe... - No Smoking Day
Warning

Scary!! How much were you taking in?
Hope you're feeling better and well done on reaching day 6, especially under the circumstances.
I started with step 1 and should've started with step 2

Glad you read the side effects Ferberitis, was thinking that was the problem with the stomach complaint, lesson learned!
Well done on Day 6, almost there at your huge first milestone of 1 week!

I had some pretty strong withdrawal for a few days after quitting smoking without nicotine replacement. But then the worst was over! I know you can do this without nicotine - truly a mind set! Believe in yourself! I was very much an addict - if I can get it out of my system and keep moving forward, so can you! Promise!
Great advice there tmei...
I used to tell myself (took me a year and half to finally take the big step and quit) that if my husband can quit, anyone can, he was a seriously heavy smoker, could have easily smoked over 40 a day, would be more at the weekend, he quit cold turkey 2 years ago and never looked back, he actually sailed through it even though had to put up with me smoking until 6 months ago....as you said have to have the belief in yourself and the determination...

Oh that is not good. But what is really really good is despite this happening, you are still a non-smoker and on day 6. Pretty damn great, I think.
