yOU SHOUld be proud of yourself for quitting almost 3 weeks? wow.. i wish i could do the same thing.. Is the patch expensive?

Thanks Luvtrish. I'm feeling very good about quitting. Sunday will be the end of 1 month! I take it day by day. I don't think about yesterday if I smoked a cigarette, and I don't stress myself out thinking about tomorrow and how I might have to handle a situation with a cigarette. It's working well for me.
The patch has really taken the edge off (at least I think it has. I feel very calm, but DH thinks I'm very cranky?) I buy the Nicoderm Patch at Super Walmart for 38.00 (this is for the 14 day supply of Step 1). I did, however, see an off brand in Rite Aid for 23.00, but I just don't know if I trust it. So, I'm spending the extra money on the Nicoderm because I've heard so much about it.
If you decide to quit again, let me know. It really helps to have someone to talk to when you get the urge for a smoke.

Missbitty, thanks for the encouragement about the fatigue. I knew it had to do with quitting smoking, quitting drinking alcohol, and quitting drinking caffeine, joining a gym, and keeping up with my family's extracurricular activities, but I was wondering if my metabolism was going a little whacky and if this also causes fatigue. I've been trying to read more about metabolism and see what I can find out. I'm definitely looking forward to my body adjusting and getting back to feeling like my energetic self.
Thanks again!
