I read your replies and I have to tell you that everything they are all saying is exactly right. It is not easy but you can do it if you really want it. I quit before I joined becomeanx then someone told me get on that site, they will be so much help, and yes they have. May 31 was my quit date and today is 19 days, I am also using the patch, but this time I am using the patch correctly, in the past I would take it off to smoke and not a good thing, and now that I look back at it, I didn't really want to quit, I was not committed. I am quitting because it was controlling my life, way too expensive, took way to much of my time to go outside, or somewhere to smoke so it would not annoy anyone, I stunk, my skin was dry, I was so tired all the time, the list goes on and on. But you know something it took for me to realize that I really wanted it, to do it, my mind says I don't want to smoke anymore but sometimes my body tells me I need a cig, I know in time this will get better. I have a fear of going down to 14 mgs on the patch and I think I do that in another 3 weeks, but I am hoping and praying for support for that, I fear the withdrawal, but now that my mind is clear I fear smoking more.
We are all here for you and don't be afraid to add me as a friend, I am an non-smoker now for 19 days but I have a long way to go and I need your support also. Good luck
