Good for you mission. Best decision any person can make.
I see the effects of smoking everyday, and every person states that they wish they had stopped smoking a long time ago.

Good job. Congratulations. The toughest thing I ever did was quit smoking. I wanted to throttle everyone in sight for three days. The bad cravings lasted about a week, although the worst of it was over in 72 hours.
A note on the patch. The adhesive is sensative to moisture. After you towel dry, you need to wait an hour before putting on the next one. Make this your routine. Place the patch on one hour after exiting the shower. Your skin isn't dry enough to accept the patch without waiting the 60 minutes IMO.
Rock on dude.

OK, This is easy folks.
I smoked 4 packs a day for 17 years and finally quit 5 years ago.
Ask yourself , why does everyone always go back to smoking ? They all go out to a bar and have a drink or two. Then they have a smoke and blammo, back on the sticks.
Here is what I did.
When you quit smoking just start drinking like a fish. Works like a charmmmm
Now if I could just stop drinking, I would be all set. | |

I did that after Jackie Gleason died of lung cancer. He was a 5 pack a dayer. I could, at most, only suck down a pack and a half......I stuck to one pack a day. | |
