Just wondering if we got any ex-smokers here that got some help with these nicotine patches? I started using them 5 days ago @ the 21 mg level and have cut way back from about 2 1/2 packs a day to about 5 ciggs total for the day. My lungs are breathing a sigh of relief already, I just need to kick this early morning cup of joe and a smoke habit. I've got roughly 3 weks to go on the 21's before I get knocked back to the 14mg's, and then down to the 7mgs.
I'll admit to being very skeptical from the start about these things and have to remind myself often now that the pats on the back I'm giving myself should be going to whoever came up with this idea.
One things for sure that I also didn't put 100% of my belief into, you dream like crazy if you sleep with these things on. They call this side effect nightmares on the label, but let me tell you when I nod off at night I wake up in the morning feeling like I spent the night as a supercharged action/ adventure super hero- it's just that crazy! I wake up exhausted like I'd lived my dreams in my sleep!
Anyhow they were free here so if nothing less I saved a few bucks over the next few weeks on the smokes, but I already see my savings going directly towards the grocery bill if ya know what I mean!
But that's cool with me, I got room for a couple pounds!
