I had this prob with patches UNTIL my doctor suggested sticking them on my bottom.
Just change cheek every day to avoid irritation.
The fact that you are sitting on them at least some of the time really helps them stick
Good luck

Hi
I am on day 17 after 50 years of smoking
If I can do it anyone can!!
I have made a vow to help someone every day as the help I have had via emails has been so motivating!
KEEP GOING!!
Phil
Day 5........
I remember it well and 6,7,8,9 and 10 etc etc
Its hard work mate but I am now on day 17 after 50 years of the dreaded weed.
I dont think I am stupid but perhaps I was.
The mist is clearing and now I see people smoking and think YUK!!!
DO use the patches(I mange with the 16 hour ones the 24 hour jobs sent me crazy) and keep going.
Dont let me down if a wimp like me can do it you can!!!

hi sue
I am on day 17 after 50 years.
Its been hell but worth it.I am not going back now.Did not believe I could do it.Everything tastes and smells better(except smoke!)
I have found it better to not wear a patch at night when trying to sleep
IT GETS BETTER EVERY DAY AFTER DAY 10!!!
LOTSA LUCK
Phil

Hi Thea
Disturbed sleep?
Not a problem it goes away think of something nice and you will soon get over it.
If you are using patches dont keep them on at night(I did once and had the most terrible nightmares I can still remember them)
Once you start counting weeks and not days of not smoking you will feel SO good.Every breath is cooler and deeper.After only a few weeks People I have not seen for a while are saying how well I look.Whenevr you gat the urge to smoke jump to the keyboard and get posting we are all here!
Clean the car,tidy the garden,wash the curtains you will be amazed where the energy comes from!!!
Sing out loud!!
You have saved over 10 dollars alreadt spend it on something you would like!
KEEP GOING WE ARE WITH YOU!

Keep smiling
Have a lovely weekend
