Yes. I still want a cigarette. Yes, it's getting easier every day.
Monday will be 4 weeks, I still have 8 to go. I'm 1/3rd through the program, and that feels great! I'm now on Phase 2, the 14mg patch. And am pleased to report that the awful sticky residue that nicotine patches used to leave behind seems to be a thing of the past. Again, I'm using the Walgreen's version...
A little trick I'd like to share. Whenever a craving washes over me [and yes they do, even with the patch on] I inhale as deeply as I can, and hold it for as long as I can. I slowly exhale, and get a sort of lovely, euphoric head rush that's the equivalent to the kind you get when you've been craving a cigarette for awhile, and finally get to have one. The bonus? I'm filling my lungs and bloodstream with oxygen instead of carbon monoxide! Sounds good. Think I'll do one right now...
