I had my last cigarette on Sunday, July 8th. I put my first Nicoderm patch on on Monday morning - and I feel great! After smoking for 12 years, I am so surprised that it has not been too hard. I have attempted to quit smoking numerous times cold turkey but, I always went back to smoking. But now I am so serious about quitting, so I've decided to use an aid. The patch is working superb. It's only been three days and already, I feel I have a lot more energy than I ever did, I am not wasting so much of my time especially at work. I've noticed that I'm getting my work done sooner than I had been, and I've saved $30 already. Although I am reaching for my right pocket (where I kept my cigarettes) automatically during certain times, I am just so happy that there are none left there. The weekend is coming up; I am a little nervous about it because that's when I would smoke the most - with friends while I'm out having beer.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself here. It's really helpful to read the stories and experiences of others. Thank you!!
