Smart move, Hyper! Stupidly, I went for the candy jar for a few months and am now paying for it in pearls of sweat and longing glances towards the spuds at the dinner table. Keep it up, you are doing great!!!

Lumbele, I'm trying not to eat anymore than I normally do. I still have 16 pounds to lose from what I gained going from hyper to hypo with my grave's disease. Half....lmao at that visual. Juju, my Total Gym and treadmill are getting a workout now. Between going to to the gym, and now using my stuff here, I should be in great shape soon. lol Wendo...thanks. Something weird has happened the past two days though. About an hour or two after I put the patch on, I get this strange sensation in my legs...kind of a burning/weak feeling. It lasts a few seconds and then goes away. My DH thinks it's when the nicotine probably hits full force? I've been putting the patch on my stomach. Today, I put the patch on my arm and will see if it does it again.

Thanks everyone. I told myself I had to make it at last 4 months because the hypnosis costs about 4 months' worth of cigs. If I had had any clue that 2 weeks later my life would be upended, I wouldn't have done it. I should be a spokesperson (a paid spokesperson) for hypnosis now. One night last week I went to bed and realized I had not thought about smoking all day. The only time I really want to smoke nowadays is when H is making me crazy. If someone had offered me one last Thursday night, I might have accepted. I realize it's a comfort thing plus I will not give him that power.

I can relate Native - I've got a lot of personal stress at the moment and it's manifesting itself in the form of nicotine dreams. My mind remembers how good/relaxed the drug made me feel and is putting cigarettes in my dreams...like I'm not stressed out enough.

NO NO NO! You can't think that way! People think that smoking a few cigarettes will relieve the stress. That a smoke will make everything feel better. WRONG! The same stress will be there after you put the cancer stick out in the ashtray. You will still have H making you crazy or the occupational pressures regardless if you inhale that shit or not! Poisonous toxins will not take your stress away! Don't let your mind play games with you!! ( The dreams will subside and disappear - promise! ) It's so true - there is nothing worse than an ex-smoker.

Halfunit is right. If you give in to the false siren song, you will still have the stress, AND you will have that damn monkey on your back again. And you will be so disappointed in yourself. That relaxing feeling your remember really wasn't relaxing at all. What you were doing was staving off the nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is a false lover. It will betray you every time. Always remember: There is no such thing as one cigarette.

I haven't given in - and I don't plan to. I worked too hard to quit. I'm just frustrated that this is where my mind is taking me. As if I'm not stressed out enough, I'm now being stalked subconsciously.

LOL Well, the patch kind of takes care of any money I'd be saving. This is my DH and mine first vacation without our kids. Kind of strange for us. We were in Cali in 2001 for my son's Make A Wish trip and had a great time. Lot's of wonderful memories. So, when we found out that some of my pics I submitted for their 50th anniversary at Disney were in the collages, we decided to go there again. I figure we'll be so busy sightseeing, I won't even think about smoking.
