Good Morning Vick! Congrats on cutting down and preparing for your quit! I have been a non smoker for 52 days and I have to tell you, it is a WONDERFUL feeling to get up in the morning and take a breathe of clean air! No more hack, take a puff, and hack some more. :)
I tried to quit using the patch alone before but was unsuccessful. I had terrible night terrors and instead of just not wearing the patch at night, it was just easier to go back to my smokes. (just one of my many excuses) Did your doctor explain to you that the patch can mess with your sleep? Mine said if it does, take if off before bed and slap one back on when you get up. But for me, that was too easy :blush: I smoked 5 more years before I finally gave it up. (36 all total)I am so thankful I did! I came to this site and read the posts all the time and that helped so much! I also used a whole lot of prayer!
Your preparing and that is a big part!! You are giving your mind a chance to accept it. Please keep in touch and keep us posted on your progress! You can do this!! It is a choice you will never regret!!!
:)
