3 weeks smoke free. I have a wonderful sense of happiness all the time

I never thought I would be able to quit. I've tried so hard in the past; this time I did not work myself up about quitting, I just put on my first patch having run out of cigarettes and have not looked back. During the first week i did experience some changes in my life; I felt lethargic, had mood swings and often contemplated going to buy a packet but I pushed through it and I can't describe the sense of pride I feel now, Im on a high. It feels like I've given myself the biggest gift and now I know what life is like. Looking back I can see how cigarettes consumed my life. My days revolved around 'going for a cigarette' and I felt so unhealthy. I am enjoying my life so much now and look forward to being healthy and happy and I will forever feel a sense of pride for quitting.

Well done Tattie. Hope that sense of pride keeps you going. It's workin for me. Just to know you can. Stay strong. Feelings pass. Keep posting.
