Hi JoDee – I’m very happy to hear you are feeling better! Apologies if I came across the wrong way – I was not passing any judgments about anyone or any methods. Quit and let quit! Quitting is all that matters, as Shevie, Aloha, and Ron said.
Shevie, you are very good at your hobby!
Aloha, you’re a bit of a nut, aren’t you? And, of course, I mean that in a good way!
Ron – I like your philosophy on quitting. Never thought of it that way!
Quit Bud! You are doing great too! I'm glad to hear the patches are working for you. This is a personal journey and each one finds their own way to just say NOPE! The rest of us are here for support in whatever way we can offer - that's the great part! Unfortunately for the CT Quit, I do have to admit that the bad dreams and insomnia are creeping in after two weeks quit - was just too bagged to dream before the past few days I guess. But am glad to get out and do some running and go to the gym lately -my lungs sound terrible/crackly. But I do have a bit more energy than before my Quit and am hanging on to that for motivation.
Way to go Eya! I have no idea how it feels to quit CT, but you are doing great! Keep on truckin!
Although they have worked for me in the past, and seem to be working this time around as well, I would not consider myself an advocate for patches. Keep in mind, though, that bad dreams, insomnia, and cramping are side effects of other quit methods as well. In fact, it could be something your body goes through from the act of quitting itself. Every quit is different. Obviously sores directly beneath patch locations are a sure sign you should stop using them! Good luck to you, JoDee, with finding the method that works the best for you.
