I am on day 5. did not know that giving up that stupid little can was going to be one of the hardest things ever. I have faced hard things before( losing a house in a fire, almost losing an arm in an accident, and recently making the decision to move my family 900 miles for a new job) all of those seem easy compared to the things i am going thru now. It also took quite a while to get to where I am now. I was allergic to the patch and gum(allergic to Nicotine but I wa sputting it in my mouth how is that for ironic), could not take the medicine the doctor said would help the symptoms, so it was cold turkey for me. The symptoms did not start until day 3 off he can so I am dealing with it .But I am determined to make it and will quit for good.
