Stop Smoking

I’ve completed one day on the patch and it feels great! I haven’t had any allergic reactions or rashes where it was placed on my skin yesterday. I did, however, feel some pain in my left arm (which is where the patch was placed) deep down in the bone. We’ll have to see if it happens again on Day 2.

My urge to smoke was greatly decreased yesterday. I don’t know if this was caused by the patch or the psychological effects of starting the patch. Whatever it is, it feels good.

I had some wicked nightmares last night. I kept the patch on when I went to bed, so I’ll be taking it off after Day 2. I didn’t have any dreams about cigarettes like some people have experienced, just dreams about my throat being crushed. That’s the only one I remember. Crazy, huh?

I meant to sign up at Committed Quitters, but I ran out of time. We’ll see if I can get that accomplished during Day 2.
