Bev'sSister Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 At 7pm tonight, I will have made 10 days without smoking. I am so proud of myself. This is the first time I ever tried to quit..and it really hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong..it has its moments..but it is certainly do-able. Has anyone else ever used the Patch? It seems to be working very well..but boy..the dreams I am having! Anyone else have vivid dreams on the patch? I may just stay on it forever.

Littlegirl Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work! Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev'sSister Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 They are insane! I told some of my co-workers about them and several of them are going to get the patch today..just for the dreams. (ha-ha) I think I will have to start taking it off at night too..the only thing I worry about is the craving for one in the morning. It is really tough with traffic down here since "KATRINA"..soooo, in order to keep my Road Rage down, I think it might be best, for a while anyway, if I make sure I have some nicotine in my system.

ztweb Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Great for you! I am so, so proud of you! The patch worked wonders for my brother! He was a two-pack-a-day guy, and the patch worked great. Don't know about the dreams, but hey...if like them, what the heck! You are not smoking!!!! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Good for you! Ten days is great! Keep up the good work. It might help to start thinking of a reward for yourself using the money you would have spent on cigarettes. John bought himself a boat (used) with all the money he would have spent on cigarettes.

Don M Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I quit smoking in 1984. I had to try several times. As I recall, if you make it past 10 days, the worst is over. I had dreams and occasionally still do that I started smoking again and then I wake up and realize it is a dream. Keep it up...go forth and don't smoke.

Maryanne Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Bobby congrats on your 10 days, you are definetely on your way. My hubby used the patch and he did have wild dreams, but not enough to not wear it at bedtime. He enjoyed the dreams. I am proud of you. Keep it up...

J.C. Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Bobby, Congratulations, In Sherbrooke we have two hospitals that gave the PATCH to all the employees so they could quit smoking before the winter (interdiction to smoke in the hospital since May30th 2006)and they are all doing well. The dreams must be the reason of all the smiles we got from the staff when we went it.........make for good side bed conversations. Keep it up.

Bev'sSister Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I can handle the dreams...I kinda like the dreams, actually. I had one the other night about eating crawfish, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. When I woke up, I was very satisfied. I did feel bad though, I thought I had cheated and was very relieved, when I realized it was a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
