Nope not cheating. I say cut the patch in half next week then smaller the following week until there's no more patch. You're doing this the right way. Our bodies can only handle so much withdrawal at one time. God Bless!
I am so proud of you Sherie, You look great and I am not smoker but based on what I know from others who have kicked the habit, Its not cheating, you have to wean your self, its been years of use..cold turkey wont do it..but keep doing what you doing and pray for strength from the Almighty and you will do it and be able to keep clean.
It's not cheating at all..in fact we encourage our patients (I'm a Nurse) to use things such as patches and any other tools designed to aide in breaking the habit.Studies do show and has proven that 95% of ppl going "Cold Turkey" will light up again quicker than those who use substitutes. You have made it to your 9th day and that's WONDERFUL !! Congrats to u hun ! Keep on Keeping on !!
I don't believe it's cheating AT ALL!!! You are just weaning yourself off which I think you'll get better results by doing. Not everyone can go cold turkey. Stay encouraged.:-)
awww I love your too girl! Nooo your not cheating. Your body is addicted to this chemical so your taking a low dose of it and then you will get another patch with an even lower dose until you can get off of the nicotine persion. You don't want to shock your body. It's like getting a baby off it's bottle. They have to be weened off. ?You wouldn't just snatch your baby's bottle out her mouth and say deal with it! lol That would be cruel and so it would be cruel to you. You are doing great!
u are doing good and thats all that matters ... mayb a little moody but u still making it i say u are not cheating ur not puffing so i say let the patch be with u ... lol cant wait for the fashion vid luv ya sis
Not a cheat. imho, nicotine patches help. They are a step down. Once you are done with the habit of holding the stick in your hand, having the smell around, smoking after meals, etc, then you will start to remove yourself from the nicotine. When the patch comes off for good, drink lots of water until to help clear your system of nicotine. Takes about 3 days, I think. Keep alot of sugar-free hard candies (fruit flavored lifesavers are yummy) and sugarfree gums to keep the mouth busy.
No sis....example-just like a baby has to wean from the mother. Some ppl may be able to go cold -turkey but in most cases there are relapses. For as many ciggs u smoked and for it to be day 9 is truly a blessing. Though imma need u to start leaving a patch or two in the car just in case: ) God bless
You are doing great, mama!! As with any addiction, you have to gradually decrease. Looking lovely as always!!! Can't wait to see those fashion videos because I know you find some good stuff (good bargains)!!
GOOD LUCK IT TAKES TIME TOO QUIT ESPECIALLY WITH THE PATCHES I'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THEM. AND PRAYER IS THE ANSWER. STAY STRONG KEEP TRYING . XOXOLYNETTE3232
