Hey all - glad I found this board since we can't access most of reddit any more... I switched from vaping to lozenges just over a month ago. I then tapered my lozenges to once every three hours, and eventually switched to the 7mg patch last week. I had a bit of a tough time for the first few days on the patch, and eventually I didn't bother putting one on yesterday. My 'concern' is that the cravings today have been pretty hard, and I'm due to go on a family holiday in 10 days. I imagine the cravings will settle, but I do not want to be low on energy, anxious, or otherwise distracted for the holiday. Question is, do I stick with the 7mg patch until we get back, or now that I'm over 24hours on 0 nicotine, do I ride it through? If I decide to ride it through and I'm struggling on holiday, will a lozenge and patch take the tiredness/anxiety away quickly? Am I likely to ruin the holiday basically! Thanks in advance.

I was 7 months in before lightning struck me! By that I mean, after 7 months quit, a certain set of circumstances made me realize that I only felt pity for other smokers; not envy. At that exact point, I KNEW I would NEVER smoke again and that's held true to this day and I expect will for all my days. Hang in there @VeeVee ... the magic will happen! One of the most time consuming issues is learning to live your live again as a non-smoker. Not only just living your live that way but having it feel good, natural and you are finally comfortable with your non-smoking life style. It takes time & repetition; it's that simple

Welcome @VeeVee It does get easier with time as Quitting Girl said, but there will be ups and downs, especially over the first year. Keep the quit and keep up the great work, 4 months smoke free is awesome.
