Hi I'm on my " I've lost count on how many times I've attempted to quit smoking !!"
This is my second attempt using the patches to quit, and I'm Day 4.
To say it's easy is an understatement. It's so Dam hard. My skin is so itchy, headaches, fatigue, mood swings, lack of motivation, trying to keep busy to avoid the temptations, avoiding sugar based foods because they will only put my weight back on.
Day 3-4 was when I caved last time and started smoking again . So I'm trying my best this time to avoid the triggers so I don't cave again.
I want a smoke so bad, but I knowing best for my health to quit, doctor told me to quit because I have had a cough for 2 months now. I've actually slept all night last night with out coughing. And I feel amazing today.
I know I have a long road ahead of me to get through this battle, but I know in the long run it will hugely benefit me. It's just staying strong and avoiding wanting a smoke when I'm bored and changing my mindset that is the challenge
