Hi Maria, It's funny but I did the exact opposite of you, I knew my quit day was going to be june 15th so the week before, I was actually chain smoking!!. I'd light one cigg with my last cigg. No lighter needed. haha I do have an online friend from Cafe Mom that also quit, but she has 6 months already, so I know if she can do it ,so can I , right? I find that if I don't wear the nicotine patch then my day is full of cravings. Sometimes It says not to wear them to bed b/c the nightmares and sleep disturbance's can be pretty bad, so I used to not wear it at night. But the craving in the morning is so bad that I'd rather have the nightmares. That first cigg in the morning was like, The Best ya know? Well, I hope to hear from you again and remember...We Are Winners, Joyce
