Day one
Day one. 21mg patch this morning, who else has felt sick and like their mate punched them in the arm where the patch is?
Just had dinner looking for something to do to fill the emptiness?
Probably not the only person here that's had similar experiences.... I've heard day three is the killer.
Any advice on this?

I been quit for 33 days.it has not been an easy journey.I found in the early days nicorette gum helped me through strong cravings. About a week ago I used gumagain.The good news is it gets easier and less cravings as days go by..keep strong and congrats .Quitting is the best decision u made..the benefits u will feel in a few days will amaze u .good luck with ur quit
Withdrawl cravings peak at three days and should then subside. The icky 3's are the worst, 3 days 3 weeks and 3 months. It will get better, hang in there and bear with it.

Thanks for your support. On day 2 now. Got about 3 minutes sleep last night.
Absolutely struggling at the moment. No issues with the patch today no dizziness. Changed arm and only minor pain occasionally. Must just be adapting to the new method of nicotine. Day three will be tomorrow (Friday) really worried about going to a friends place for drinks. I figure grab the bull by the horns. Gonna have to deal with social situations sooner or later hey.
Cheers again guys

I'd avoid alcohol, you're tired, the cravings are bad, it's all to easy to slip up in the early stages.
I had this when I tried them, by day 3 I had a huge rash and bruise. I went to the doctor and found out I was allergic to them. You shouldn't give up quitting, but you should use something other than the patches.
