Hi, Welcome to this group. I'm sorry we haven't met sooner but I don't come here as often as I probably should. You see I've been off of cigs now for a little over a year. So I'm not a beginner which is what I think you are looking for. Someone who is closer to your quit date. But I would like to offer you some encouragement and support in this. it is do-able, as they say....I came on this site over a year ago and I didn't think I would have made it this far but with the help of the patch and people on here, I've actually committed myself to never picking up another one of those things again. I can finally breath better and I know I smell better. Stay Strong, you Can do this !!!
