i will have to quit smoking

Hi there, today is the big day!!!! I have smoked my last cigarette last night. OH this is rough! Since I woke up my mind is always for one cigarette. I am trying to distract my thoughts. I have not taken any patch or swing gum of nicotine until now. Sometimes I feel dizzy and my hands are trembling and I can concentrate to what I am doing . What is this? SMOKING is an awful illness? If I could pass the first day maybe tomorrow is more easier.HELP give some ideas [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 0 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �0 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

my worst nightmare

This is my second day without smoking. My first day was a nightmare. In the morning every single minute I was thinking of taking a cigarette from my colleges (well I did not do it) In the afternoon, even if I went to the gym, my cravings were worst. I still feel dizzy all the time, so I have decide to take one nicotine gum, this is a relieve, but nothing changed. I cannot concentrate on my job. I am not sure if I can go through this situation. Do you think paches are more effective than gum?
