60 hours and counting....

18 years of this crap and it's time I gave it the college try. I went on Zyban for 2 weeks, but after the upped the dosage to the "proper" amount I got the shakes and sweats and was a total vegetable.. I banned it. Went on the patch instead after cutting down to less than 10 per day so I could start on the lower dosage.

The local guys have been keeping me busy... As long as I'm doing something it's okay... It's those "triggers" that really make the cravings come on, Coffee, meals, driving, boredom, hunger. Had a few really overwhelming ones that got me mumblingto myself.

It's amazing the stuff your nicotine junkie brain tries to pull over on you. "Oh just ONE won't kill you, cause this craving is probably because the patch is "defective". or "You can cheat this weekend, it's no different than the patch anyway", etc... JUNKIE BRAIN!

Wish me luck!
