Another Q regarding the Nicoderm patch,?

Lord have mercy, dont cut back to much to fast. That is where I slipped up and dont change brands either... its not a good idea unless directed by your Doc. I had a rough week with a death in the family, I "Thought" I could do it without the patch because I felt so good and doin so well.... I stopped the patch...wrong move! I had a craving that I thought I would go nuts during. I also thought that one store brand would be better since it was cheaper than another store brand that I was using but the store brand I "TRIED" was horrible, it fell off my arm when I put my shirt on, it rolled up on me, it didnt work as good as the other store brand. It was a mistake, I did however go from the 21 to the 14 after 2 weeks and it was a lil rough but nothing I couldnt handle. BE VERY CAREFUL, your quit is your life!

NewPapa's NewBaby stats

RAWK ON!!!! BOYS RAWK!!!!!!!! Some great advice that was given to me when my oldest was born.... Go to the movies as often as you want with him now while he sleeps alot. It gives you time to connect with your wife as well as still have the date night before the lil one takes more of your times from her. It also gives her the time to get out of the house yet not away from the baby. Sit in the back, just in case he needs to leave the movie without disturbing others. AND now that you arent blowing your money out of your mouth, you can use that lil extra (That he will consume when he is a teenager) to still date your wife while she is in a emotional stage. Plus what guy doesnt like to sit in front of a screen and watch a movie? lol Good luck with the lil guy! GRATZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking for help, friend quit with me, thinks she can be a casual smoker

remind her that this is an addiction. Just like with Alcohol, smokers are addicted. We CANNOT have just one, we CANNOT go back. Hopefully she will see this and see how bad it is and not go back. She doesnt have to do anything, she makes that choice. I would ask her why? Why would you gain all this LIFE just to throw it away. Remind her of her time, goals, energy, remind her of why she quit. Maybe a video diary, like on a day when she is really motivated and has a flash of a light over her head... like smelling a smoker and about gagging. Then play it back to her.
