As I close in on 60 days of being smoke free.I am prepared to be free from nicotine,also. I have been wearing the patch since March second, Eight weeks to complete the therapy, and I must say if you are having a problem with QUITTING I suggest Using an NRT. Be it gum or the patch. I used the patch it has helped me tremendously. As I close the door on this part of the journey another door opens, Only this is a journey I willingly take. It requires all of my confidence that I can successfully continue to QUIT without NICOTINE.. I know this will be the longest road to hoe this will be a journey for life that shall never end. I will do whatever it takes to stay an EX. I will be chewing a lot of gum, SUGARLESS, I will eat healthy , keep my weight down. I will exercise more . You have just heard my version of closing the DOOR! GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.
