Hello TXst! Scream, yell, cuss (if ya want), cry, laugh, cheer...etc....whatever you must do but smoking WILL NOT make you feel any better! Take a bath, run a marathon, read a book, watch tv, just sleep! Pamper yourself and dont worry about anything right now! This is an evil addiction that will play some crazy mind games! I am also a cold turkey quitter and it sucked I know but its all psychological and the sooner you realize that the better off you will be! I hated quittin smoking and I dont even know if I could again if I had to! I have said this before, you can either fight back or succumb to the crave! I, personally, fought back and I know you can too! If you need to "fall off the face of the earth" for the next few days then do it, but dont do it with a cigarette in your hand! This is your quit, you own it, nobody else. You can let yourself belive that smoking will make you feel better, but it most definitely will not! You are stonger than a cancer stick arent you? 5 days is awesome! Cold turkey is awesome! When the withdrawl passes you wont have to worry about stepping down on the patch or anything. Some people 60 days into there quit experience another hard time when they try to take the patch off, you won't experience that! I had a hard time around day 28 and the next really rough spot was at day 83. I most definitely cannot complain! Hang in there! Quittin sucks, but this time the suckin wont kill ya! =)
