First day without patches...argh...

It's been tough going today. Not more so emotionally, I've been strong and my resolve is still holding. Physically though? Argh.. I have felt sick nearly all day. I am also getting this horrible metallic taste in my mouth and the most horrendous outbreak of mouth ulcers...

Only another couple of days and the nicotine should be purged from my system completely....hopefully.

Until then, I'll just have to grin and bear it. I didn't think it was going to be as bad, but I'm glad I used the patches for the first few days, to help with the shock of breaking the habit. Now i just want to be free from the lot.

Over and out. Going to bed. Tomorrow, I'll feel better.

Good luck & stay strong
