Cold turkey? Patches? Chantix?

Well, it helped that the first 10 days I was on them was while I was in the IC unit for pneumonia as a complication of the flu. They told me to go 30 days after the hospital on step one, 30 days on step 2 and 30 days on step 3, so I have about another 4-5 weeks until I am completely off the patch. I have had no physical withdrawal symptom, no real cravings either. I just occasionally want to suck something into my lungs, and I usually find that a breathing treatment (which I still need to do for another 6 months or so) takes care of that.I'm at 10,453 days.

Are you still doing patches? If so, how long until you're done with them?
I was lucky. I had no physical withdrawal symptoms. Just cravings.
Worry about the weight later. Keep at it, and don't get discouraged if you slip up.Unfortunately however, I HAVE gained about 10 pounds, so I am going to have to watch that.
That's fantastic!!!! Go you!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NA for this

Suck on a dum-dum or tootsie pop. It gives you something oral... and not that many calories.Well, it helped that the first 10 days I was on them was while I was in the IC unit for pneumonia as a complication of the flu.
