total 12 week quit…. 35 yr smoker..I quit smoking using the ecig for 6 weeks(which administers MUCH less nicotine than cigs) and am NOW past 6 weeks of nicotine free. Tho’ the insomnia is getting a LITTLE better…my tolerance for THIS IS VERY LOW and I AM SOOOO tired of BEING tired and feeling useless and dual minded. I do NOT want a cigarette ever again ~ but am awful tired of talking myself INTO moving…
After 48 years of smoking,xray’s showed dark spots on my lungs. I’ve been on the patch for 6 weeks and right now my problem is sleeping.
Sometimes I toss ans turn until 3:00 in the morning and wake at 7 or 8 a.m
