struggling tonight

[Stephanie44]

I’m on day 31st with the patch and find myself struggling tonight. Not sure if I’m growing tolerant to the patch or what..

You will have ups and downs in your quit journey. Perhaps you could try some extra nrt. like Gum or lozenges when you really struggling.

I do have nicotine gum but I’m afraid of consuming too much nicotine then it will be harder when I go off the patch. I don’t want to become nicotine dependant.

Stephanie44 keep going you will get there don’t give in 😊 have you tried a different way you can always use nicotine gum with a different strength with your patches keeping active and taking your mind off smoking, it will get easier I promise just don’t be tempted to have one puff 💨 you’ve got this 💪😊xx

Hi Stephanie, it’s a bit of a roller coaster on this quit journey but you’re doing really well and this will pass. Lots of good advice already so I’ll just say hang in there as it’s so worth it and don’t forget to remind yourself what a great job you’re doing, even though it’s hard at times, it won’t always feel like this. 31 days without smoking is a terrific achievement, so be very proud of yourself 🚭💪👍👏👏🤗xx

Hi Stephanie, I agree with the others, we get ups + downs on our quit journeys so maybe a good idea to get another NRT product, just for those hard times 🤔maybe try the Inhalator, then you could just have a puff of it when you need it 👍😀🐱x
