I double what indingrl says above. Look at your first day as one heck of a success! Build on it one hour at a time. Come here often. Is there anything specifically you're wondering about?

Welcome to EX and congratulations on your quit.  I suggest you read anything and everything you can find on nicotine addiction and know that this DOES get better.  You might want to read Best of EX which has a lot of amazingly powerful blogs and I also suggest reading a blog that was written by YoungAtHeart  For Our New Years' Quitters (and community member...  another one I found particularly helpful was by JonesCarpeDiem What To Expect In The First Four Months  I read it over and over again.  I stayed close to the site and came here every morning and every evening and I paid attention to people telling me that it would get easier...I will admit that I wanted to yell WHEN more than once but now I KNOW it gets easier.
​
​Again, welcome.

Hello, Shadow!! Feel free on using those patches.  I started with them as the same time I was in contact with the ex-community here.  I'm writing you from Puerto Rico.  Today I'm celebrating five years of success.  Thanks to this community. I never felt alone. When the moment came I decided to discard patches and started to keep in contact with ex- community and trust me: It was magic!! Congrats on your day 1 Let's it celebrate.
