advice for crying please | 1

[zoer]

I'm 24 days smoke free after 45 years. I'm using the patch. I find myself crying a lot lately, more now than in the beginning. I feel if I just go ahead and smoke it will stop, but I medically have to stay a non smoker this time. Does anyone have any advice for me? 

sorry if this is repeating from the community page, i'm new and put it over there before finding the conversations page

I cried and cried too.  Eventually it seemed to pass.  I am a few weeks ahead of you so trust me it does get better.

Hell, I cried in the car, in a store, at home, wherever the need to. I didn't care where I was.  I chalked it up to allergies (which I don't have) but it worked so no one gave it a second thought. Cry Away, it's ok.

Welcome and Congratulations on 24 days without smoke ! Big way to start...

Crying is remedy. Crying is emptying out from within. It is emotional. Good to cry...

Good to cry, bad to smoke, even thinking of smoking.

All the best !
