2 weeks today!!

[jessrudd12]

Hi all!

Well, at 9pm tonight it will be 2 weeks since my last cigarette! I have got my appointment at the doctors today, to see whether the carbon monoxide in my breath has gone down. Has anyone else done this? What kind of a difference can i expect to see over 2 weeks? If any at all?

I also had a big achievement on saturday. I went out drinking. I had A LOT to drink, but yet i didnt have one puff. I remember getting a bit nervous as i was getting ready, and told the people i was with that i expected them to help me and slap it out of my hand if they saw me with one (which clearly shows i didnt have much faith in myself!). But they didnt need to! I have my vape all night and was fine my vape only has 0.6mg of nicotine in it, so i am extremely proud of myself.

Thank you to each and everyone one of you for helping me get this far, you are all my heroes

Thanks Ryan! It felt so good waking up on the morning with just a fuzzy head, and not a furry, dry mouth that tastes like an ashtray and my throat sore from smoking a whole 20 pack in the space of 5 hours lol! I am well happy NOPE NOPE NOPE

[Ryan2308 16 Months Winner in reply to jessrudd12]

Hey Ryan. Not pleasant for the craving to be keeping you up all night..how you doing now? I know you had some sort of NRT?? How have they been working for you? Or not? Keep sharing out, there's people on here with a lot of experience of all sorts of different paths to quitting and remaining quit. All the best

[Ryan2308 16 Months Winner in reply to iris8]

It was awful but I didn't give in 😊 I keep telling myself I can have one if I want but I CHOOSE NOT TO 😃 I have a nicotine patch they are working excellent I ain't been having my micro tabs cuz I thought the cravings had gone but I've carried on taking them as from last night 😊

[iris8 8 MONTH WINNER in reply to Ryan2308]

Not sure what micro tabs are? I've been using NRT gum, 1st NRT that has been a success. In the last 2 weeks have noticed that reducing and just trusting the flow...Worst case scenario; when they eventually go to the wayside I'll keep some about for any charged urges. They work and have played a key part in the quit. It was like a break through to be honest, the NRT I tried before didn't work. I was too ridged in my mind set, trying to go cold turkey with no support in place-I see it all now as a bluff for any ole' reason to relapse. This time is different, my abstinence is precious to me, my breath an ally - The process ever unfolding. Hang in there Ryan, this too shall pass, one way or the other it has to! :O)
