Day 1

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3

Hi everyone, this is day 1 for me and thought I had better introduce myself. I have smoked for 15 years and have tried numerous times to quit. For my final quit I am using the patch. Got up this morning and put it on before I did anything else. So far, so good! I am going to stay busy today and also stay close to this site when I can. Looking forward to getting to know each of you - Bonnie

Thanks everyone, it really is helping just knowing I have a place to come for support or advice when needed. I have a hard time asking for help, but for my quit I am going to ask when I need help. First patch already fell off, uggghh, but quickly put on a new one, and it seems to be secure. If not I will duct tape it if need be, lol. Thanks, Bonnie

Hi Moonwater, Welcome to this great place. You will find lots of good advice here. I too am on the patch. I just stepped down to 14mgs a day, 3 days ago. So far so good. The only problem I had was nightmares the first few nights. Talked to my doc. and he suggested taking patch off 1/2 hour before bed. Worked a charm. No more bad dreams. Use all the tools that are offered here, and you will have a great start to your quit.

Hi moonwater, Your story sounds a little like mine...I smoked for 12 years and quit using the patch...this site is a lifesaver. Congrats on your decision, and welcome.
