I am going to need extra help, how can I get the patches?

I need extra help.

1. Contact your state's quitline to see if you qualify.

2. Consult with your county health department if you need assistance.

3. Speak with your medical care professional about other options for you.

4. Talk with your employer to see if they have any options for you.

Welcome!  Patches are an extra help and so is this site.  The more you know, the better prepared you'll be for the journey ahead.  If you haven't yet, click on "My Quit Plan" upper right on your page, and check out the various topics.  It's amazing the things we don't know about this addiction but think we did.  I found this cartoon very illuminating:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z16vhtjWKL0  Understanding how cigarettes work on our brain is one of the first keys to unlocking the door to success.  Education give us a foothold.  And support provides the ladder to reach the goal of Freedom.  Check out the Best of EX and journey onto people's blogs.  There's a wealth of information everywhere you look here.  We're on your team.  Glad you've joined us!  Chin up and have heart!

Get started on this site if you haven't already, go to http://www.becomeanex.org/how-to-quit-smoking.php#thl and if there are any areas you need to address such as tracking, triggers, NRT"s etc.

It could take a couple of weeks if you order them from a quit line. Walmart makes their own brand. They work just as well and they are about $26 for a 2 week supply.
