Well done irfy your doing really well!
Why dont you keep a daily diary of what your doing and how your feeling? Prehaps if your having a bad day you can go back and look at it and see what the struggle is like to remind you not to have a fag.
Also are you putting the money your not using to buy fags in a jar so you can see the financial benefits?
The first 2 weeks is the hardest. After that you have more or less given up!
Good luck my darling keep going xxx

Irf, I used to smoke about 40 aday and tried to stop several times I'd do the full course of patches (10 weeks ) without a fag and then on the last day I would find a reason to light one up, I did that on two occasions and felt such a loser and thought I'd never manage it, but then I got an incentive (mine was a brand new v70 D5 ) a bit extreme I know but my mindset was the money I was spending on fags was more than covering the finance and I used to think if I smoke again the finance doesnt get paid and the car goes, so like Lottie said in an earlier reply get an incentive it worked for me, oh by the way the car cost £23500 ( thats some money going up in smoke) it's been 5 years now.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

But I warn you, they give crap examples of what you could do with your savings
Maybe they should let you 'tailor' it further to, what could I buy in the way of mods for my Vol.....er Honda

Stick with it Irf, it does get easier as time goes on, but those nicotine receptors in your brain take about 12 weeks to die down - that is why nearly all stop smoking courses are based on 12 weeks. However, even after that, they are still there and ready to be 'woken up'. So many people get caught out, because they think that they have quit and can just have 'one', say at a party and they find they are addicted again even several years down the line.My advice is, after the 12 weeks are up, keep an inhalator and cartridges with you all the time, Just in case you get tempted.Don't cut down on the patches/inhalator too quickly, It is easy to think you are doing well to manage with less, but statistics show that you are more likely to be successful if you follow the course as planned, and sometimes even for longer.
As I say stick with it, you should be beginning to feel the health benefits already, and if you were on 20 a day you are about £30 better off financially, just after 5 days! A year will give you well over £2,000 to play with! - I'm sure you can think of some mods for the car!
My usual ramble, but I really want you to succeed, If nothing else just so you don't get ribbed rotten by the lot on here!!
