Had a crave today

Hi lola,  I quit on March 7th and for the first time used the patch,also the nicatrol inhaler.    I found that for the first 2-3 days I had a headache, which wasn't that intense but you knew it was there. Also I felt alittle sick.  But it will pass.  You may get an occasional headache within the first two weeks.  Read the booklet that comes with the patches.  It tells you what you may expect or the side effects.   But you made the first step like myself.      Stay strong

Will the Second week get any better?

Hi everyone, once again thanks for the advice.   It's been 15 days now. Can't say that I'm them  counting though
 
It's the furthest I have ever been.   I no it sounds silly, but I put up signs in my apt which sort of motivates me when I read them.   I drink more raspberry tea than I've ever drunk before.  Seeing as I am originally from England we are known for our cup of tea. But it makes a change instead of drinking coffee and tea as were use to when we use to smoke.  
 
So here go's week 3 for me. I will check during the week to see how everyone else is doing.  If anyone needs advise if you just quit I am more willing to help.

Hi everyone,  Well it's been a month now since I quit.    Have to admit still get those days where your tempted.  But hence have not.  It's getting alittle better.  Though the cravings do come and go alittle easier.

Day 3 is proving pretty rough

Hi brelaine,  Just checking in to see how your doing?
 
I think I am 10 days ahead of you, We both quit in March.   How are things??  If you have any questions on anything or cravings, let us no.

Hi everyone, well made it so far to 7 weeks smoke free.  Feels weired!!!  But good.   Cravings yes get them but seem to handle them better.  Helping someone at my job who has just quit. 
 
Thanks for all the support you guys give.
 
Really appreciate it.
