... another way of looking at it.
My 'cigarette actually smoked' - 30 yrs smoking at 20 per day avg = 1 cigarette > 10 miles long!
Wonder how much tar that would produce?

Hi Judy,
I found that the patch affected my sleep (24hr variety), so I removed it before going to bed. Also experienced the itching and muscle pains as well. 2 months smoke-free tomorrow? Congratulations!! :)
Hi Sunshine,
Thanks for your kind words and you've nearly achieved '2000 cigarettes not smoked'. Fantastic!
Today is day 3 and I FEEL GOOD!
Yesterday evening I went running after work, then sat out on my patio with a glass of wine (yes, I still have some vices!).
I thought back to my pre-quit week in February, when I considered such a scenario, glass of wine in one hand, but no cigarette in the other, and thought to myself, 'well I'll be missing out, but I want to quit, so c'est la vie'.
WRONG! Having sat in the evening sunshine for over an hour, it was only on my way back to the house when I realised that I hadn't even thought about smoking during that time!
Generally, the cravings are minimal, certainly no more than when I was on the 7mg patch, and as each day goes by, they occur less and less.
I was worried about coming off the patches, but now realise that there was nothing to worry about!
Thanks for the encouragement, and I hope my words can encourage any doubters who don't believe that things really do get better!
Mr Ed

Hi Vicki,
Giving up smoking is a serious business, but a bit of humour on this board is always welcome!! :)
Thanks for the post!

Morning all,
It's 11.10am in the UK. Have just returned from my local garden centre.
While negotiating a large roundabout, the hatch on my car flipped open, and two very large bags of compost fell in the path of the car behind me! Luckily, there was not an accident, but I was a little shaken up by the experience.
You may be thinking, what is Mr Ed rambling on about? The point of this tale is that when I arrived home and spoke to my wife (Mrs Ed), she reminded me that given a similar situation happening during my 'smoking days', I would have smoked a cigarette on the way home, closely followed by another 2 while I told the story.
Mrs Ed has also set the toaster on fire this morning and still I remain calm....
Mr Ed

Not really a night owl - more of an early bird. At work - 7.55am in London
