This is wonderful! Thank you so much.
I quit cold turkey 1 month ago. I had been about a pack a day for about decade I had been trying to quit for the past 18 months, Was using the patch, it worked once, but i slowly started smoking again because i allowed myself to but "that occaisional smoke." Pretty soon i was smoking as much as before. switched to cigars, black and milds, roll your own cigs pouch tobacco, all that is trading one for the other. Thats how i feel about the patch now too. What you got to do is just cut nicotine out all together. And once you got a few days underyour belt, dont reward yourself with a puff, just one puff is all it takes to make your brain as addicted to nicotin as you were before you quit smoking. ONe puff throws away everthing. Anyway, i found these tips on google that helped me quit this last, and hopefully final time. I think cold turkey is the way to go. The patch is made by the same company that makes the ciggs, pluss its expensive. You really dont NEED them, you can go without, its just uncomfortable for a few minutes each day for the first few days. Anyway, good luck, and check out these tips.

Right on brother Cookie Monster! You can do it. It's just one day at a time. Sometimes it was one minute at a time when the nicotine fits were giving me the dickens. Little miracles each and every one of them.
Won't it be nice to say this time next year that all you have to worry about is that smidgen of cookie dough that may be stuck to your waistline as a by-product of taking back control of your life from tobacco?
K++ CM and to all of you who are giving up smoking tobacco! You deserve it.
See, you'll feel better eventually. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it's a tough row to hoe and you can do it.
I was able to use a secret weapon that made smoking an impossibility within 24 hours. You just didn't want to risk it.
Step 1: Choose a window. It should be one that's double hung so that it goes up and down.
Step 2: Light a cigarette.
Step 3: Drop your pants.
Step 4: Take a drag on the cigarette while you lay your Johnson on the windowsill.
Step 5: Exhale and slam the window.
Repeat these steps and I think you will find reserves of willpower previously not even considered possible.
Smile when you can, laugh whenever you feel the need and remember, the withdrawal symptoms are really your body just acclimating itself to its own new reality...
