I am nearly 52 and started smoking at 14. I have quit oncwe for two years and once for 8 months 3 months ago. My quit date was July 24, 2012. I am using 14 mg patches and lozenges (2mg). So far I ahve stayed with the N.O.P.E. program. Today I found out my mother has less than a year to live, uterine cancer. I intend to use this to strengthen my resolve not diminish it. I have only used 2 lozenges today. I am committed but, any help is appreciated. Thanks for letting me share.
So sorry to hear about your mother. News like that may make you think of smoking but it won't make either your mother better or you feel better about it. I used the patch also but not the lozengers. Used lollipops. Stay committed .
