Good luck Brother, it's been 15 months for me , a two pack a day smoker. Went to a state sponsored six week program, in which we would gather every Thursday for an hour, it's easier in a group because you kind of feel a competition, and also a guilty feeling if you fail. They test your carbon monoxide level, that in itself will make you want to stop. They gave me free patches, used them for three days, and threw them out. Struggled for a month or so, the rest is behind. the main reason other than my health, lost my mother to cancer because of smoking on Christmas eve of 08' and my boy was starting high school and did not want him to start. to sum it up' SMOKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
