What is the difference of creating a post in the General/Blog area (appears to be used for re-posts) versus in the sub-categories in the Forum section? Is this even the right place for me to ask this question? Is there a better or correct way to make an inquiry?

Hi. Decided to quit smoking again and this has to be the last time, I don't want to have to go through it again. I am on day 10 of no smoking and using patches. I have smoked for more years than I can remember and have tried many times to stop. I did stop for quite a while but went to visit a friend one evening and pinched a smoke from her and before I knew it was back smoking again. I had developed a smokers cough which was getting worse and was wheezing as well. The last straw was I suddenly got an ache/under my left breast in my ribcage and was worried it was lung cancer but think it was my bra pushing into me. Glad to say the ache/pain has gone after swapping into non underwire bra. cough has also cleared. This quit has been the worst ever. Headaches, heartburn and muscle aches just to name a few. I have downloaded the NHS APP which helps and have been reading on here.

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.)

HI @Minnie Mouse.... I did not know that PAWS -- The 2nd Stage of Withdrawal was a thing. I have had several relapses for short and longer periods over the years. Maybe it is because I was not paying attention to PAWS. Many thanks for this insight. Cheers

Hello @Sherberry. Congrat's on on your 30 plus quit. You are off to a good start. I did use Lozenges but I do not recall experiencing the white chalk issue you are going through. One word of caution about lozenges. They will help you step down and off of nicotine if you follow the perscribed program. BUT.... if you use and take them every time you feel the nicotine urge and don't taper off them, they can beecome as addictive as smoking. That was my experience. In fact, I because hard core addicted to Lozenges for a while because I was not followng the step down program. All NRT is a tool to help you taper off and step down but eventually you will have to do the hard work of handling withdrawl symptoms. Keep the quit.

Hello @Kingelocin. Welcome to the Quittrain... and congrats on an your awesome quit. I really can't add any more sage advice to what has already been shared here by the Quittrain team. The withdrawl symptoms you are experiencing are very normal. They will subside with time when yous top feeding your body nicotine. Please check in with us often and let us know how you are doing. Keep the quit.
