Hi, again, Jeni! Instructions are here, and yes, I would start from the last time you smoked.

I have been anxiously awaiting some news....thanks!!

Jeni, everything you are experiencing is normal. Take a few minutes, lock yourself in the bathroom, and cry your heart out if it will help. You don't say how much you smoked, or what level of the patch you are on...is it possible that you are getting too much nicotine? As El Bandito mentioned, the first week is called Hell Week. You just have to take it one day, one minute, if necessary, at a time. And yes, every time you take a puff, you are reinforcing the addiction...especially since you are already putting nicotine in your body with the patch. Just tell yourself Not One Puff Ever (NOPE)! If you will do some reading about the addiction, you will learn that a true physical crave only lasts 3-5 minutes....you can stand anything for that long! So glad you have joined us and Congratulations on your decision to quit!

Nope!
