Beginning of Week Two

Day 8

Cigarette Count: 9-12

Stress Level: 7

Just a bit over a week already and trying to quit is becoming quite the task. To help, I picked up some nicotine gum which I will be starting in the morning. I have tried nicotine patches in the past, but they irritated my skin and made me sick, so hopefully the gum will be a good solution.

Daily Advice: Nicotine withdrawal is no fun.. I'm having hot flashes and my sleeping patterns are all messed up. Try to avoid these symptoms by pacing yourself. Rome wasn't built in a day.
