• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Still on the patch. Think I gained a few pounds. Oh well. It is so much worth it! I have been rationalizing in my head that a drag won't hurt, or just one. But I know that isn't true. I have come this far and I will not blow it. Thank you God for being with me when the urges come. I have just started a new and STRESSFUL job too, and the urges have come. I miss the act of smoking, but not smoking itself. I feel so much better, I smell better, and breathe better.
