First day to quit smoking, pretty emotional day for me, feels like my best friend just died and I am trying to figure out what do next. Can anyone respond on the patch? I feel like the patch will help me, as I feel the habit is harder to break than the cravings for nicotine.

Many of us have written a good bye letter to addiction , they weren't , and aren't our friends ...perhaps it might be something that will help you today . Just a thought . Congratulations on choosing life. One day at a time .

Welcome to the Ex and congrats on your decision to quit.  Feeling like you lost your best friend is a common emotion when we quit smoking.  Everything we did and felt involved smoking.   Educate yourself about nicotine addiction and create your quit plan.  These two steps can lead to success.  Here's some information I compiled on NRT.   And, remember, we're here for you .   Just reach out when you need support.
