I have been smoking for 12 years, up to 1.5 pks a day....until Jan 1 this year.
January 1st, bought Walmart brand Nicotine step 1 patches. Wore them for 3 days. My body no longer needed to smoke, my mind forgot about cigarettes while I was preoccupied with everything else.
Driving without smoking was kind of hard, but I just drove faster to get to my destinations faster.
Did 7 days with the patch, although by day 4 I was wearing it just because I had to. Started the Step 2 patch... wore it for 2 days, forgot to put it on the 3rd day, remembered again the 5th day, and said screw the patch and havent touched a cigarette since 1/1/11. Break the mental habit first, the physical is the easiest part.
