You're welcome Fonzy! And if that does transpire and any of those people need to talk to someone while using the program, I would more than happy to listen to them and try to help them through it.
Hey patti, how many hours were you able to manage using the sub for?
Just curious to know. Can I also know how many cigarettes a day you were smoking in a day?
I have been using it for 5 days now and the number of cigarettes have sorta gone down but the cravings are still there.
My mood has sorta improved as well. I was going through a major slumpy phase but have come out of it a bit.
Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Does it get better?
Freak, if you read the instructions, you know the following.
1. The program is designed for use over 6 MONTHS. If you're only 5 days in, seeing a reduction in cigarette consumption is great!
2. You should smoke as desired while using the program. DO NOT try to force it, or have a "quit date". The program is designed as a gradual release, and relies on the lack of stress this allows you to experience to help you quit as quickly as possible. Stressors trigger the desire to smoke - so don't artificially stress yourself by trying to force it. The program will do everything for you, at the rate of speed at which your unique body, mind and emotions are best able to cope with the change.
Don't try to hold yourself to any expectations of how fast you will quit. Everyone quits at their own pace. Just because it took Patti as long as it did, does not mean it will take anyone else that long. Just because it was as difficult for her as it was, does not mean others will find it that difficult. And I disagree with her assessment of being part of a 10% of the population who will have as difficult a time quitting. I think she represents part of a very, very small group, which would be from 2% to less than 1% of the overall population.
Just relax, let the program do it's thing, and go about your life. Smoke as desired while you use the program, and allow it to gently bring you down from smoking. It will take time. Some people need more time than others. Just be okay with whatever your personal needs and responses are, and allow the program to do it's thing. Use it for six months straight, and then assess your situation.
Stressing about it makes it take longer.
