Lady,
You should be sooo proud of yourself! And I am happy that you chose to vent your frustrations here! I think it's great that you are letting us support you for a change...I admire the fact that you are always around with your words of wisdom for everyone else...
Congrats on your upcoming graduation...WOOOOHOOOO! You made it thru and smoke free even for your last year! That is awesome!
I was going to ask about the rewards too...everyone seems to have beaten me to the punch on that one...lol...I do have a suggestion tho: Sounds to me like you need "Spa Day"! Why don't you treat yourself to a nice massage or a facial...Something special for your upcoming graduation! YOU DESERVE IT!!!
Wishing you brighter and less~stressful days :)

Hello Shark,
I smoked a pack and a half or more for 19 years...When I quit in Feb. I used the 21 mg patch for 1 week...I do think it helped "take the edge off" to a certain extent, but the more I read, the more I decided I had no interest in detoxing twice...Once from the "other toxins" and once from the nicotine...So I decided on day 8 to do a test...I left day 7's patch on an extra 6-8 hours...then I removed the patch and showered and left it off...I decided if I freaked out I could put another one on...I didn't...I even lived with a smoker at the time...I would say I slept a little more the next couple days than usual (but that might have been from the lack of crazy dreams brought on by the patch!) but that's about it...I actually started to get my head screwed on straight after I quit the patch (I was really zoned and out of it while I was on it)...This is just my experience however...everyone is different due to their body chemistry and level of mental addiction I think...The worst part of my whole quit quite honestly was trying to figure out what to do with my hands! (I sat on them alot! LOL)
Whatever you decide about the patch or any other NRT, I wish you all the luck!
Just remember: N.O.P.E.!!!!!!!

You poor dear Duckie...But just look! You made it thru the day smoke free...and that is what counts the most!!!
It is completely acceptable to cry, whine, snivel, snot, throw a tantrum...whatever you have to do not to smoke...We have all been there, so you are in great company! LOL
I hope your tomorrow brings you a renewed sense of peace!
