The more you try the easier it gets???

I bought the patch and the spray yesterday from my drug store and started them today. I haven't used the spray. Day 1. I've smoked for over 30 years about 1/2 pack a day and i've tried so many times to quite - successfully twice when I was pregnant with my children:) I am so tired today and normally fully of energy. The last few times I've tried to quit, I've had a brutal cough and I've gone back to smoking. This time - thanks to the stories I've read so far, I will do my best to persevere. I also have a bit of a short temper, so will try to knit or use my training heavy bag instead of opening my mouth.
