I Love my Lungs, good plan by staying on the site until the craving disappears. Pretty soon you will be done the patch (10 weeks right?) and you will still have to watch out for those cravings that pop out of nowhere. I see you quit in November, you should join us other No-Embers that also quit in November. I find it helpful to have some quit buddies to rely on (which we have more than enough support from everyone here!) but all quitting in the same month allows us to check in on each other and see what similarities and differences there are in each person's quit. So far we have myself, moss, and crazycuban. Look in the general discussion at the beginning of each month and we'll make sure to check in with you as well!
Good luck and remember NOPE!

Glad you're keeping our reservation! Let's see, for starters there's Fresh Air Fritters, with a bottle of Chateau d'Aire (2008). Then I'll have the No-cough Casserole and finish with a bowl of Success Sorbet ;)
Should be a great meal!

You'll find smoking is a LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP.
When you smoke you hate your lover...when you quit you romantisize.
Most therapists say dump the relationship. It's unhealthy and leads to nowhere.

Todash-hehe, funny stuff. What kind of food are we talkin about at this cafe? Pure oxygen sauteed in healthy breezes? We can't let that reservation go to waste!
Lainey - I had no idea about the mini-hell week coming off the patch. I still have a good month and half to get through, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for the nicomonster to reemerge then. Thanks for the heads up!
Josie, as always, Grazie molto! for your support and replying. Moss - the day is good my friend. It is sunny, a crisp breeze in the air - and my lungs can actually handle all the fresh air! The mediterranean feast we just had helps with the good spirits!
One puff away from a pack a day
ci vediamo!

How'd you get on last night? My lungs have a table booked for four at the Easy Breathe-y Cafe so hope they don't have to cancel it! ;p

Hey ILovemyLungs! Beware of the three day craves going off the nicotine....Just wanted to give you a heads up, it might not happen to you but a few of us had cravings for about three days after finishing the patch! You may want to stay the course! :)

Thanks as always guys-the night is not done yet, but the worst is over.
By the way, these other profiles I'm seeing are just beautiful - some of these 1 year quits are just beautiful you guys and gals - keep it up, we rookies love that kind of inspiration. :)
Ciao, ILML
