oh, it isn't here, everyone here is very supportive and really, just wow. I mean the people around me in life.
But when I think about it they were the same people who basically told me that quitting nursing and becoming an accountant was a bad idea, and now look who has christmas and thanksgiving off. ha ha.
I thought about it this morning and I think it is just people and when they see someone trying to change and do better, it makes them uncomfortable (all my friends smoke) and so they want to get back to their comfort zone.
I am just going to pay no mind, just like when I was going back to school.
And I am one month today! :)

thanks everyone. I am going to stay positive because I can only be negative if I let myself. I am in complete charge of that!

In response to your original post, I don't think the patch releases anything much after 24 hours, it is designed to deliver the dose over 1 day.
However, I think you were having some irritability issues a couple of days ago, and maybe you are trying to go too fast off the patch. I do think that if you smoke you spend a lot of money. If you stay on the patch, yes, you spend some money, but not as much probably and there IS an end to it. So if you try to accelerate too fast to save money, and loose your quit you will be spending money on cigarettes.
For what it's worth, i think bear was replying to your original question "am I pretending here" about the patch lasting more than one day, not implying you were pretending about your quit.
Posts like this are why I love to come and read these forums.
I think attitude makes such a difference.

I think it is a nicotine delivery system. Nicotine is what you get hooked on in cigarettes, it isn't the cigarette itself. Nicotine is a poison and does have health risks. You aren't getting everything else that comes with smoking but it seems no different from the gum or the lozenges to me. It is just a more familiar form.

I thought dippers dip snuff which is a fine cut tobacco and comes in a can, and chewers chew tobacco which is a coarser cut and comes in a pouch. The dippers just put a pinch between the cheek & gum and then spit, while the chewers actively chew.
I could be wrong.

Still a happy non-smoker, doing good, looking forward to the long weekend! Although it is supposed to rain off & on all weekend here LOL! I guess I'll be mowing the grass next weekend. We have gotten so much rain in the last couple of months everywhere you look is green and there were so many wildflowers this year.
Business is good, People are great, Life is wonderful.
Maybe it's the chantix talking, but I don't think so.

I will never again have a cigarette stick to my lip and burn my hand in that delicate spot in between my index finger and my middle finger...and then pull off a couple of layers of my lip as well.
Isn't that nice?
What are you missing?
