Welcome,you have come to the right place. Lots of support and knowledge on this site. No need to be mad at yourself, just accept the jumble of feelings associated with quitting and remember quitting is a gift to yourself. You deserve health!

Hi-

Are you quitting cold turkey? My nerves were shot when i tried cold turkey which is why I decided I had to try the patch. 

You're already 2 days ahead of me so congratulations! You can do it!

New to program .quit 7 jan. doing o. k now. Cravings are a problem . Looking at acceptance. I realize the compulsion part also. I quit for many reasons but the best is the bad smell.

Happy 6 Days to you.  I too am on 6 days quit.  My new addiction is this site.  I too am worried about weight gain as well.  I went and bought carrots and celery, honey to use instead of sugar, cinnamon sticks to pretend smoke and chew on, jolly ranchers and gum.  I just got over a bout with a sinus infection during the holidays but like a fool was still smoking.  It is amazing that in the 6th day you can breathe good.  Stay strong, you can do it.  Lots of great people here with such awesome encouragement daily.  Hugs
