Hi Irvnd

Welcome to the forum and well done on the decision to quit possibly one of the most important you will ever make and you will be losing nothing but you will regain control of your life and that has to be good

You will find all the help and support you need on here as we all help each other just like a family we are here for you every step of the way cheering the good days and sympathiseing with the bad but the good far outweigh the bad

Read the posts on here you will find a lot of tips and advice and in the signatures of a lot you will find links to other sites just click on them Here are 2 I find very good to start you off whyquit.com and woofmang.com Read, read and then read some more as the more you read and learn about why you smoked and about your addiction the easier your quit will be

Well done getting to day 11 that's great sorry you're not feeling great at the moment

Do as Jim is suggesting re the patches lot of people on here have done it that way and been fine

Post often to let us know how you're doing, to rant, rave have a moan whatever you like pretty much anything goes on here OK

Love

Marg xxxxxxxx

Hi Irvnd

Sorry to hear you're suffering ... could be the time thing as well, i found the first couple of weeks could have rough spots (wanted to kill, eat my bodyweight in chocolate etc)

But 11 days is REALLY GOOD! You are over the worst ... don't stop now, soon this bad day will be nothing but a memory. You've already listed one positive ... I'm sure there are more. For example, cup your hands round your nose and mouth and take a deep sniff ... notice how they don't smell bad anymore
