I remember that by my third week I was tired and cranky. I can recall that is when I gave up on my diet which led to my robust figure today. My sense of smell and taste came back. :0 I can recall though that on day 22 I felt a lifting of the worse craves. It is a journey to learn how to be a nonsmoker

You were strong enough to quit again so I think you can stay quit. The first week can be terrible with craves and urges. May I suggest you focus on now, today, where you are not smoking. Don't worry about the big picture. Sometimes I wanted to smoke and I told myself, not today. Maybe I will smoke later or next year, but right now I am not going to smoke. And a part of me would be upset and maybe throw a fit because it wants to smoke, But I would hang on and count the days as a nonsmoker.

NOPE

Congratulations! The first two weeks are said to be the most difficult and you made it!! :D :D :D

Hi Kathy, congratulations on quitting smoking! :D :D

Good morning. I did all three levels of the pastch over a four month period. Each time I stepped down, there was a few days of adjustments. For the last level, I went longer than what was suggested because I was afraid. I finally stopped the patch all together when the line at the store was too long and I was too cranky to wait to buy them. I think there was about a week of low grade withdraw, However, I was strong about it because during of the months of quitting with the patch I had gained tools to cope like the forums, mediation, support from friends and family. I was VERY irritable for a while. All of this turned out to be temporary.

Congratulations on your four months of freedom! :D :D :D
