Withdrawing to the toxic chemicals smoking introduced causes
many changes in your body. When you smoked, nicotine triggered the release of neurotransmitters in your
brain. These neurotransmitters are responsible for good mood. When you quit, it
isn't uncommon for your mood to falter. Just remember that this is temporary and in the long run you will feel much better because of your quit. Put some coping mechanisms and rewards in place and you will get through this.

Well tomorrow is my planned quit day. I didnt really prepare as when the nicotine patches arrived I decided to quit the following Monday. My concern is, as well as the anxiety/panic issues I have and are a big motivator for me to quit, I also deal with some depression. Some days are very hard to just get up in the morning and this is when I will smoke. Is my depression going to be worse not smoking? That I dont know. I'm taking on a lot. In recovery, out of work now for months after having the same job for 30 years and I am not with my wife and kids. Will this be a part of my total makeover or be more than I can handle. My main objective is driving with some comfort as the panic attacks I have had are when I drive and I am hoping not smoking will aid in this. Thanks all.
