OK, I'm patting myself on the back this past week because I'm doing better than I ever thought possible. I'm down to the 14 mg patch & not using the lozengers & I feel better than when I was on the 21 mg's. I have been able to cut my blood pressure meds in 1/2 & don't have the jitters like I did like the past month. Maybe after the 1 1/2 packs a day & going to the 21 mg patch was too much nicotine, I don't know. This week was another test for me. I was doing my morning walk & in front of me were 2 women & 1 was smoking a cigeratte. I thought to myself, OK, this is going to be interesting. I saw the cigarette in her hand & SMELLED the smoke. The 1st thought in my mind was "That is why I quit." I had no erge to think about finding a cigarret (see I can't even spell it correctly anymore) I just knew I was finally at a higher level of my quit. I feel soooo great, but I'm getting the extra inches on my body. Here's one for you!! I pretty much put something in my stomach when my belly growls or when it hurts from the acid in my stomach eating away at my stomach lining. So I drink some milk to coat the belly. That takes care of the hurting for about 3 hours. I'm not eating any junk food unless that is all I have when the pain starts. I don't have, thank God the hand mouth habit, just the empty belly more often. There is no way I'm anorexic or anything like that. What do you think???? Thank you for your support & I LOVE the meter that let's me know how many cig's, money saved, etc!!!
