Thanks, every one, I think the worst is over for today it was bad though.
Now my head is clearer I know Im doing the right thing, I know I have been putting poisen in my body for more years than I like to admit, but I dont want to go back! I dont care what the devil says I do feel as though Im getting ri of a big heavy stinking ball and chain and I dont want it back. Thank Go for this Forum I have tried go stop before but Ive never had this outlet to vent my feelings, Thanks.
Its my 14th day now and I too still get strong cravings its awful - but we cant go back, its not worth it!! I could murder a cigarette too today. Had a test today because its been very stressful and I havent had one - I cant, I simply cant put myself through this again. Keep going - we will get there.
Its a shame for my daughter who has to cope with my moods now - I sulk, get angry, get depressed, still cry at times, and sometimes I feel happy
Yep, All great advice, feeling a lot calmer now. I think it was a combination of not sleeping and no appetite. I have started taking the patch off at night to see if I could sleep, and was a bit late putting it back on this morning, Im going to start remembering to put it on a hour before I get up (leave in my bedside cabinet) as some one on here suggested . I will do whatever it takes and use as many aids as I need to get myself through this.

Cheers folks
That really does work tooshay!!
I did it this morning and had a good night's sleep without a massive crave first thing
Have been keeping my patches on my bedside table with a pair of scissors so the first thing I do every morning is pop on a new patch - better than waking up and stumbling out the back door inside 10 minutes like i used to for a fag
You can do it, and it's always worth stopping smoking!!
I'm on day 11 and I can completely sympathise with you - last few days have been a real struggle, much more so than last week.
Your doing really well, I feel like having a tantrum tonight!!but after yesterday's shit day I'm learning the crave will pass - might take all day but it will pass and after getting through it we will be so proud!
I'm hanging on to the thought if I have one I will stink, it's really cold outside and also I be so angry with myself!!!!

Well done Wooders, onwards and upwards, yes it is cold outside and it is smelly too. Whatever it takes to keep you off them the first week or two are the worst then it gets better, promise
Thank you haze 56, wow you have done amazingly!!!!
How do you feel? Please tell me where you are at now in your quit the cravings are not as intense!!!! Im enjoying quitting in a sadistic kind of way I feel free but also feel sad that I have spent so many years waiting and planning a cig. I can't believe how much it took over my life and that I never realised it!
Did you feel the same at the beginning of your quit?
Anyway onwards and upwards!!!! Day 12 and 11 hours!!!
Well! I have been so wrapped up in my misery I have muddled up how many days since I had a cig my daughter has Just pointed out its two weeks today.
So Im off to the three weeks thread tomorrow Yipeeeee.
Must say IM feeling back on track today after my wobley yesterday, hope everyone else is doing ok Im off to read todays posts to see if anyone needs a boost.
