Doing better now. but the kids will all be home in an hour or so.
The last time i quit I was pregnant and the smell nauseated me, so it was quite easy. Stayed quit for yrs, then husband had cancer stress this, stress that.... Before I knew it I was smoking again. Started to just calm my nerves.
I cant use the pregnancy thing anymore...haha
I am not doing this cold turkey. I am on the patch. I even went through a 3 week program that gradually dropped your nicotine level over that 3 weeks. Till the last meeting you are to not smoke that day and start the patch. They call it the warm chicken program
I am doing better so far today, my husband had decidede he will quit with me and his irritability isnt helping mine.

Hi chicky,
Seems that you are now in some control since your inital post. Sorry I didn't read it a few days ago.. preoccupied :(
In the meantime, what patch dosage are you using?
Also, don't forget to check out the IM when a craving gets bad and you need to talk it through. You can check and see if I'm on board k?
(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
