Welcome Mike and congratulations on your decision to quit. I agree with above. Why would you want to add the patch? Now that you are through the starter pack the pills are stronger and will help further reduce your desire to smoke.

Congratulations on your second year quit Joe! And thank you for sticking around and supporting everyone I hope you celebrated today, you deserve it

Our bodies get all out a whack for a while, especially our sugar levels so if you're feeling shaky maybe have something sweet. I was hooked on soft peppermint puffs my first year plus it helped with urges because no one smokes and sucks on candy at the same time, well at least most people. The confusion should go away soon enough too at your stage of the quit but again if it gets worse or you're worried about it then you may want to schedule a Dr appointment. At the very least it will set your mind at ease. I got all kinds of kudos from my Dr when I had told him I quit so it's also a great morale boost

Welcome Sammy and congratulations on over two months quit. A lot of us have feelings like you do in our early quits. When you smoked for as long as we did, 35 years for me, and then suddenly stop, it's like losing a family member. Which can trigger depression. If your depression is so bad that you're considering ending it though then it's maybe time to talk to your Dr about getting something to help, even if just temporarily. My first year was pretty tough. The cravings were really bad but each time I got past one it lost strength. It's just a matter of getting past these early constant cravings one by one and I promise that as long as you stick with your quit, you will start feeling better.

Use at full strength

That's how the SOS works, by getting your thoughts to stop growing and your mind turned around to thoughts of keeping your quit, good job Lilly
