Kristilu, Stay strong, fight the urges and remember to use the 4D's(Drink Water, Deep Breath, Delay, Distract)! They can really help! Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator

Hi Kristilu, I am also using the patch and what I do for extra insurance is cover it with a great big band-aid. :) For me, especially during hell week, I wouldn't try to fight off or ignore the craves. I just accepted that they were there and that even though they were strong and uncomfortable I did not have to give in. That's been my problem in the past. I gave in and lost my quit. Not this time! Cravings come and most importantly, they go! You CAN do this Kristilu! You are doing this. :) Faith [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 52 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,300 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $624.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Lainey, good idea I will do that. I think i've made it thru the worst of it. I will change my patch out at lunch and see if that helps. I may have it in a spot where it is not as flat as it should be??? Thanks everyone for the backup! And DL - the walk turned out great, ran into the taco lady and picked up 2 breakfast burritos while i was on that walk ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/11/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 50 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $13.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

KL, Hang in there girl. Check your patch. Is it sticking properly? Or is it an old one (expired) or mayabe a defective one (It happens) It is very unusual to have strong cravings like that while on NRT. Please check it out and if you have a spare one, try to replace it, just in case it's a dud! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 345 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,625 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,639.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Kristlu, let that Junkie BITE, CLAW, AND SCRATCH, but dont give in, rethink your reasons, this is only temporary and you will have times like this in the quit, you have to be bigger than it, every time you fight it off, it will make you stronger for the next time, you are too early in your quit to give in Hang tough, think of what your dad will be going through Kristilu you only have good to gain from quiting :) Tresa ( Hugs ) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/8/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2015 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 40,300 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $7,052.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 288 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

Kristi - I am so glad you wrote this post. It's the best thing to do when you're having a tough time. I'm impressed - you woke up this morning with bad cravings. But, you've been tougher than the nicodemon and have made it through the morning. See - you ARE doing it!!! Keep it up.

Kristi, You've been around here enough to know that this is going to be the toughest time of your quit. You can do this! You're doing the right thing by posting before you smoke. It will get easier. I promise!! You're a strong young woman, and definitely stronger than a little white stick. Be kind to yourself.
