[color=Blue]Oh yes Lainey, there is definitely some discomfort but it's under control so far. I found that as the day progressed I was getting a little jittery and a little more impatient. I immediately took care of those feelings (which came often, right up to the time when I went to bed) by doing a lot of my breathing exercises, drinking lots of cold water and reminding myself OFTEN that these 'feelings' WILL pass ! Way to go AZ you are doing GREAT ! ! ! And Lainey, your stats are SOOO fabulous ! ! O.k.. well onto another day.. another SMOKE FREE DAY ! ;) Peace [/color] :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 33 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 660 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $297.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Wow, everyone is stepping down and down. Just be aware that you may have 2 or 3 days of discomfort as you get used to the new levels. You are all a great bunch of quitters! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 398 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,950 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,198.90 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 52 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

[color=Blue]Yes Danielle, that's what the pharmacist said.. the period of adjustment. I figure it this way - IF it's just too soon then I'll do one more week at the 21 mg. But so far it seems o.k. :) Thanks for the encouragement Jan ! And congrats to you stepping down ! Your stats are awesome girl ;) I'm feeling just a touch antsy so I'm going to keep busy. I've got all the fixin's ready for a big potato salad and then I'm all ready to settle in and watch my Blue Jay's play ball !

[color=Blue]When I started this stop smoking journey I decided that when I reached my 1st milestone - one whole month smoke free, I would step down with the patches. So, yesterday marked one full month and today I stepped down to the 14 mg. patch ! I will be doing that with the 7 mg. on May 5th. I'm not following the program exactly the way they suggest to do it. Wish me luck everyone... So far so good :) Hoping everyone is having a wonderful smoke free weekend !
