Just experienced my first hit ... kind of. I woke from a nap (slept very poorly last night ... first patch applied after retiring, so not sure whether or not that had an effect), and without really thinking clearly, while getting out of bed, thought that the first order of the day would be to check e-mail and have a smoke.
My first thought of "oh ... s**t ... how can I do this ..." (that didn't take long, now - did it!).
Good thing I really, really like red licorice ... on my third licorice whip as I type.
I am scared ... very scared. I have all of my ducks in a row as far as preparation, NRT's, prescription aids, support network ... but still very afraid.
As a side note, my dreams while napping were incredibly vivid. I don't think the patch and/or Zyban causes an increase in dream activity - just a much better recall. This part of it will be a LOT of fun!
