This morning I was smoking, ooh, I don't know, I'd say about two to three cigs every hour.

Then I thought, hmmm, no, I won't do this any more. I'll stop. And I'll do it now. Just like that. I mean, that's how I started low-carbing, and have stuck with it three weeks now.

Couple of hours after that I put my first patch on. It was weird. Sure I still think about lighting up now, but it's like, it's making me really hyper, I can't sit still! But if I try to take on too much, then I end up getting breathless and light headed incredibly quickly. That said, I've made big progress in decluttering my flat in the last few hours.

I mean, it kinda feels good, but not without feeling just a bit scary too. Is this normal? Thanks.

It does have a "strange feeling" side effect, and some weird dreams too

Godd luck, and I hope it works for you

Wa'il

Thanks. I think I was a bit overoptimistic at first, though. That uppiness wore off after a few hours. And it didn't repeat itself. Used one more patch, thought it wasn't doing any good, tried for a day and a half without, then finally gave in. Oh well.

Still, am trying again now, and this time, nurse is checking up on my progress, which is probably more likely to make me stick to it.
