Giving up next week

Hi I have been a smoker for 30 years and smoke around 25 a day. I gave up around 6 months ago cold turkey for 3 weeks. I didn't find it hard at first then about 3 weeks in felt really depressed and so started again. I think I'm more prepared this time. I've also bought the whole 12 week programme of nicotine patches as I thought that might help with the miserable feelings that came up last time. Anyway I'm going to give it a good shot and I shall do it. How has anyone else gone on patches?? Thanks
Hi Edie30
I only started last week and I'm on the Champix which seem to be working well 😊 My first attempt to quit a few years ago I used the patches and found them to be really good 😊 Unfortunately I did start smoking again after several months due to a crisis but it was my own fault not the patches!! Good luck with stopping 😊
