"When you've been smoking 39 years (14,200 + days). Stopping smoking for 68 days seems insignificant but to me its a milestone and I'm proud of myself. There's nothing good about smoking for me anymore. "

"Day 3. Had to cancel the ‘reminders’, ‘motivation messages’ etc as I’ve been doing well, but every time these pop up to remind me how well I’ve been doing it makes me think about cigarettes which I haven’t been doing as I’ve kept myself extremely busy, so I’ve switched them off and will make use of the distractions and aids as needed.

Hi Ruth, I also have bad dreams if I leave patches on overnight - try removing before sleep. Works for me, but put a fresh on on first thing in the morning!

"Day 1. Munching on gum and applied my first patch. Allergic reaction to the adhesive so have applied to the top of my right foot. So far, so good! Been with Quitline for a couple of weeks and have reduced my smoking by about 50% without using patches until today, only gum.. Now it's time to get real!"

"I’m not going to beat myself up over this as I feel my smoking habits are gradually changing. Went 16 days cold turkey then had a shocker of a day as we are renovating. Puffed away for an evening and realised it did not give me the gratification I thought it would. Three days off them now but popped a patch on today just to make sure."
