WTG!!!! I quit June 16, 2007 and used the nicy patches. I haven't had 1 since...I just count up the money I save and spend it on fabric :twisted:
You can do it!! I found that the "habit" was harder to break than the addiction to nico...does that make sense??
Good luck to you...if you slip up..just start over, you'll make it!

Congratulations on quitting smoking!! I have smoked all my life. I tried to quit cold turkey -- longest 5 minutes of my life. Anyway, my doctor gave me an Rx to help me get through it. I'm to take this medicine at least a week before my "quit date." Next Saturday is the day!! I'm so scared that I won't be able to do it. But it helps so much to know that others can and are and so maybe I can, too :-) Keep up the good work!

There are times even now when I get stressed out and want one, but have always convinced myself to wait 24 hours. By that time, my resolve is back.
Take each day as a new challenge, and reward yourself for milestones. It gets easier! :P

Did "fall" a couple times, but I'm right back to none.
