This is my first time on this website. I started using nicoderm cq patches on Jan 7. Jan 9 I slipped up and smoked a cig close to around bedtime. The first night I had so much trouble sleeping and I was so tired and the second night was a tad better but still difficult. The third I'm not sure what was running through my head I seen the pack and I just grabbed it and smoked it.
Things started to seem to be going much better. I had small cravings, they didn't last long and I moved on with my day. I've been very very tired. Seems all I want to do is sleep the day and night away :(
Today I woke up and I had a strong urge to smoke. I changed my patch and I feel jittery and noticed I keep clinching my jaws, I'm getting a headache. I want to sit and cry! We are in the process of moving, I'm trying to pack, take care of the kids, and fight this urge to smoke at the same time. I ran across an ash tray with a rather small butt in it. I knew it was one from my husband (which he is quitting but in his own way. I think he's down to a piece of one a day) I hate menthol with a passion and I lit it and smoked it anyway! Now the urge to cry is even stronger! I have to start all over again right?!
I thought by day 5 things would be getting easier and the patch would keep me from the jitters? I CAN'T go back to smoking! We have plans! We signed a new lease and will be buying a new home in the next year. I can't and I won't someone please help me get over this hump! Is it normal to get jitters and headaches after 5 days on patch?? I feel very anxious :(
