    • About Me

      I've been in a committed relationship for 12 years, have 2 sons (23 and 19). I have 1 granddaughter who I worship, my d/p has 8 grandchildren, and 1 great grandson. June 2007 I had a stroke and was diagnosed with a left bundle block (born with it and never knew). My youngest son has Russell-Silver Syndrome, NVLD, severe depression and bicuspid aortic valve.

      Hiya and welcome to the smoking recovery group. I used the nic patches and found them really helpful. You just lower the dosage patch over time and Bungo no more patches (and no smoking either lol) When you crave remember the 5 D''s delay.distract,drink water,deep breathe and DS (this site)
      The first couple of weeks are really tough but they are doable.

      Treatments

      Chantix Not Working
      Tried it in July and had horrible side effects
      Cold Turkey Too Soon to Tell
      No way!
      Hard Candy Working / Worked
      Seems to be!
      Hypnotherapy Not Working
      I don't think I went under (too much of a control freak).
      Nicotine Gum Not Working
      But tastes like crap and felt like it was burning my mouth.
      Nicotine Patch Somewhat Helpful
      It took the side effects away but not the desire to smoke! It also left "burn" marks on my skin but I'm trying it again!
      Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
      Just started on March 1
      Willpower Too Soon to Tell
      Not sure if I have enough of it!
