Nicotine SUCKS!
My body is not happy right now, it misses nicotine. I can feel all the withdrawal symptoms happening - The migraines, the edginess, mood swings. I forgot my Nicotine patch one time this week and went the entire day without it, by afternoon I just about bit someones head off for something that made no sense and was not me at all. Early this week I started the second step of the nicoderm patch, they lower the amount of nicotine from 21 mg to 14 mg. I was amazed at how that effected me, suddenly my cravings became to intense to handle... I had a couple mishaps this week and that makes me even more angry. I'm wondering if I should stay on the 21 for a bit longer.
For a while I was flying high on the fact that I was so proud of myself... I've moved passed proud to pissed. It's all psychological I know, my body is craving something that it has depended on for fourteen years and I need to ignore it.
It angers me that cigarettes can have this effect on your body, they can grab a hold of you and change who you are.

If you are still having intense craving - that are not just psychological - then by all means - go back on the 21mg - Every body is different - do what works for you. The ultimate goal is to break the addiction - do what it takes. Having to fight intense cravings is only going to eventually lead to defeat.... Your body needs more time - let it have it.... :~) You are doing an amazing job between your weight loss and breaking your addiction - Don't let this shake your confidence.....
I agree totally...
and not because you yell at me when on the 14mg's
14 years smoking

It's "do what ever it takes time"
You never listen to me
"You tend to bite off more than you can chew!"
"You tend to bite off more than you can chew!"
"You tend to bite off more than you can chew!"
"You tend to bite off more than you can chew!"

Relax for a moment or two
the shit that drives you to smoke wont kill you as fast as smoking will.
prioritize
Life is simple.
People are complicated.
Life is more important than people
Life = eat shit drink love & laugh as long as possible.
People = work relationships status appearance apeal potential etc ...
as long as possible.
