I picked up 2 week supply of 21mg PATCH for 5th & 6th week.
The first time the pharmacy gave me 28 21mg Patches to last 4 weeks.
I expected the lower dose this time so not sure why I got 21mg and only 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks.
Tomorrow I begin my 5th week, even though I have had troubling days, it is a miracle I am able to do this.
I just cannot cave to this addiction ever.

27 Days since my last cigarette.
I was standing at the bus stop, some guy lit one up
and it still smelled good to me. This is one DEEP obsession.

You're doing a great job Barb63 27 days is a milestone! I still like the smell of cigarettes, but I'm told that this passes and they start to smell horrible...am so looking forward to that time. When someone walks past me who's been smoking, I can't believe how strong the smell is and I think, "Gosh, I used to smell like that for years and years!". Maybe try smelling something lovely each day, a flower, some soap or a favourite fragrance. I do this and it reminds me what I've been missing out on...I find it amazing! All the best to you.

The pull is strong. Since Saturday this has been one tough week. 4 days in a row (days 23,24,25,26, have been the toughest yet)

Remarkable story you have. I know though it is not a 'story' but your reality of health issues you have had to deal with it and knowing having quit smoking it made getting through each one easier and more successful. So hoping life is more peaceful and kind for you going forward.

Thanks, @Barb63! I tell my story here to help others as I know I am very lucky to be here. My life now is quite different than it was 4 years ago. I retired 2 years ago and sold my house on Long Island, NY this past Feb '21 and am now living in Western North Carolina near the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns w a fabulous man who truly cares about me after living alone for 12 years after my divorce. Every day is an adventure now and I love it!
All the best to you, too, as you begin your quit journey!
