Already feeling better...
Well i'm on day 5 now of not smoking. I'm currently still on the prequit patches and the mini losenges. After 2 days on the prequit I decided what is the point of 2 weeks to cut down when I felt I could do it then. One thing I am going to do though, no matter how great I think I am doing I am still going to continue with my patches till the very end. I feel so much better already, I can breathe better, my food tastes great and I can manage a good nights sleep. Although I have been a bit irritable and anxious...I'm sure that will pass. I have had to keep myself busy during the day cause I still feel that "void" occasionally.
I have tried champix in the past but due to my past depression it didnt agree with me very well and I came off them very quickly, and straight back to smoking. I'm not saying it wont work for other people, it could very well be the best option for them, it just wasn't the right one for me.
Good luck to everyone...I know we can do this.

Hi bek..I to am on the patches have been since the 1st February but last weekend i thought i could stop using them.. Boy ! was i wrong had a relapse and i felt soo disappointed in myself and had to start all over again on the Sunday..WITH my patch but instead of the whole patch i have cut it in half may sound silly but i felt the whole patch was to strong for me and i had headaches and shaky but ok now..So i am sticking it out with the half patch for a while yet My will power isnt that strong to go cold turkey.
