Really trying hard not to give in

By smokeyonmytail Thursday, June 04, 2009

I feel like I wanna rip off this patch and smoke lie a train. I crave one worse now then when I was weening myself down just to start the patch. My bf smokes and its a rainy day and all i wanna do is grab one of this cigs. I feel horribly scared that I will just forget and smoke out of habit but then the voice says do what you want least you haven't been smoking as much. I feel like a skitzo over these things!!!

YU may feel alone but ur not!!!   I definately feel skitzo, nthing feels right, nothing is good enough..........    I'm using chantix & am 31 days w/o nictoine & a smoke sure does sound good.   I need to look at it as   "I surrender having NO power towards these cig., it is ou of my hands".    Yet at the same time, smokers don't have a choice but to smoke where non-smokers have a choice as long asthat first drag is not taken.

I have sent similar messages to other on this feed.  A tobacco addiction actually ranks up there with addictions like cocaine, that is what makes it so hard.  Having a 'quit buddy' or calling your state quitline to have access to a 'coach' is REALLY important (call 1-800-QuitNow).  You can find really inexpensive nicotine gums and patches at websites like this one: http://stores.tobaccosolutionsonline.com/Search.bok?category=Nicotine+Transdermal+Patch
