YOU have to want to do it. I quit three times. This last time was for good, so far. Just like an alky you're never really not an alocholic, same thing here. Decided I had enough of my money going to it, sick of feeling like shit. So I decided to quit. Strong wife that kept honest with the path and used the patch. Great thing about the patch is when you find the right area of skin and you rub that patch for an extra jolt....well it's better than 10 cigarettes for the morning smoke.

I did have to give up things that promoted my habbit though, hanging out with other smokers, not going to the inlaws ((yay) they smoked too), and the hardest of hards had to stop drinking. It was a year and a half before I could have a beer without the craving for a smoke. Don't let anyone fool you either you will still have cravings from time to time. I do. It's been 6 years. But you have to fight through it, they're quick these days maybe a minute or two and then gone.

But the big key is YOU, only you, have got to want it. I set a goal, after a year I got to spnd what I would have spent on smokes for a new gun... Helped a little bit but again I wanted to quit.

Good luck this is a powerful thing you're trying to break.
