Day 8

[Dollydon]

I'm on day 8. It is evening here. I'm fighting my inner Nicodemon to go buy a pack of smokes. I can't let myself go out of the house

Welcome Dollydon and congratulations on Day 8 - my first post too was on Day 8 and was pulling my hair out - that was a year and a half ago. You can do this, wishing you strength, keep busy, bit of exercise (indoors if needs be), lots of water and reading on quitting and what to expect.

Thank you. I am using the patch 14 MGM and actually they r expired. They seem to be working. I have not caved to any of my craves for a smoke. However I did eat 3 chocolate bars yesterday. I am putting an end to that today.

Eat away at the chocolate if it stops you from smoking - any extra pounds can be addressed later when you are stronger in your quit, be kind to yourself and whatever it takes to get you smoke free for the next few weeks (will be over the worst of it then and getting stronger to attack at all times as the mental battle begins)
