40 years of being a smoker...today is day 15 of the patch for me, nicoderm cq...had some awful days and continue to, but someone told me after the 11th it would get better. so far, no slip ups and it is getting a bit less difficult. i feel like i am at war, and slipping up would be a lost battle ...i am not willing to lose any battles in this war! i'm new at this, but i hope this helps.
best of luck and determination to you.
