Bobbi,, just a little piece of advice re the patch not sticking properly.. I rubbed the area with a little bit of rubbing alcohol, let it dry completely and then put the patch on. It stuck on really well :) Jean [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 42 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,056 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $430.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Hi mark, Read the posts about positive thinking and it will not be as hard. Motivation, and only that, is THE key to succes. Good luck.

Hi Mark, I hope you're hanging in there ok. I have to say that I have been reading a lot since this. Just very easy to read books, nothing heavy but it does take me away for a few hours. It's a great distraction.

Mark, Give you brain a rest from thinking about it. Rent a movie....or get involved in a book. It gives you a rest and lets you escape for a couple of hours. "Mental" escaping is a great way to pass the first three hard days.

Hi Mark, Hang in there, okay? You CAN win out over this addiction. Drink lots and lots of water....It helps with the cravings and cleans your system; Have hard candy, gum, sunflower seeds, toothpics, etc. for that hand to mouth thing; avoid trigger....those places or things that you associate with smoking. If you can't avoid a trigger, change it up or rearrange it. My computer was a major trigger for me, I could avoid it so I rearraged the things on my desk, sat a candy jar out, a candle, and pics of loved ones...things like that. When a crave hits, get up and move around if even for a couple of minutes. That's so important....Get something to drink, take a walk, clean something, etc. Post and read a lot here on the site when the cravings hit hard. Come here rather than lighting up. We're here for you anytime you need us. Stay Strong....You CAN do this, Tutti [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/18/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 75 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,390 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $269.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36
