I love whyquit. It's the only thing thats ever worked for me. I'm rrreaaaallllyyyyy lucky, though. I'm a stay at home mom, so at breakfast on day one I said "I'm quitting smoking" and everyone went AAAAHHHHHHH and gave me some space for a couple of days. It sucks. Hard. But i honestly do feel like the worst of the withdrawal was a much shorter process than I've experienced with NRT. I tried everything to quit at one time or another: patches, gum, lozenges, wellbutrin. Nothing worked. Except just to stop, and be miserable for 3 or 4 days.

Patch is working for me, on day 5. Took me a long long time to accept how strong a grip nicotine had over me. If it takes 12 weeks or 20 weeks or whatever, I will continue with the patch till I am off it.
