Boy, oh, boy.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but Week 2 was a tough one. While I was tempted to smoke once or twice during Week 1, I had a rough time last week.
It's probably due to other circumstances as well...stress=smoke.
But here I am. Two weeks without smoking and on "Step 2" of the Niquitin program.
Like I said earlier, Week 2 was a tough one. I found myself sitting in the "smoking corner" looking at temptation. Struggling like a fish caught in a hook. But, like some lucky fish, I got away.
So let's see how Week 3 goes with this new batch of patches. The patches deliver less nicotine, which shouldn't be a problem as it's a weaning process.
One last thing: my only problem with this brand is that it doesn't stick for more than 10 minutes. Or least until start sweating - which happens when I walk from the bedroom to the kitchen and then back up again.
The solution?

I have to admit that the patches do work. But I also think that a quitting smoking mindset has a lot to do with it.

Leukoplast to keep the patch in place. But it also presents another problem: irritated, red, chicken skin. :/
Small price to pay for long-term health, I guess.
