The last couple of days have been a bit stressful, hubby has been poorly and was rushed to hospital with chest pains, we had a lovely 14 hour date night in A&E, he has a pre excisting heart condition so its always a worry when he gets pains. The whole time I was there I didn't even think of smoking...I was to focused on him I think... that is until I went to get myself a coffee, walked outside the hospital and wham, a big fat craving, it was so intense I didn't know what to do! I tried breathing talking to myself, pressing my patch, then I remembered I had some micro tabs in my bag, hadn't tried one before.. well they taste disgusting it made me cough, and then I had a massive sneezing fit, had my legs crossed to stop me wetting myself, my eyes were watering, my nose running.... all this only lasted for a few minutes, but it felt like forever as I did have an audience of about 20 people!! Lol x

Hi Laura. Glad u stayed strong and hope ur hubby is doing ok.
U made me laugh when u said "pressing my patch" that's exactly what I do! Like u think it's going to give u a quick boost or something. 😀😀😀🍸
Hey Andrew, the patch pressing is a regular thing for me lol, glad I'm not the only one! You must be coming up to two months soon! Well done! X
I know it me chuckle I thought I'm not the only one then! Yeah two months on Saturday! I'm so pleased. U must be about the same time now. It still comes into my head tho I'll have a sit down now and a nice cigarette.... Then it comes back to me. 😀😀😀
2 calendar months today, I know what you mean, sometimes it's totally random as well... was in the bath the other day, got a craving, I have never smoked in the bath!! Lol

Oh gosh I hope your hubby recovers well quickly. That's brilliant you haven't succumb to smoking under such stress. You can do this Laura 👊👊👊👊 x

Pressing the patch ha I did that for ages but you know it works, finished all nrt now for about 3 weeks but keep low nic gum with me for these times, seems like however you got there it worked for you lol. Hope your hubby ok and remember you not smoking is better for him too x
