Today is my new quit date! I havn't had a cig since last night... 16 hours ago. I am doing a lot better since last time I tried to stop last week and failed. I did ALOT of reading as everyone suggested and I educated myself on what to expect this time. I wasn't prepared last week and thought it was going to be easy. It wasn't...lol. I definitly feel better prepared and now I DO know whats to come. I'm a little concerned about my choice to do the patches. I am using them but my doctor put me on the lowest mg. because I was only smoking 5 or 6 cig a day. So I'm already on the last step of the patches. I hope they will help ease the withdrawl enough for me to deal with them. I definitly feel I am ready this time... I can do this!
