Hey, Guys, my 2 cents..........I was on the patch twice, during both my visits to camp crazy, soon as I walked out the door, patch came off and cigarette went in...............I know smoking makes me nervous, go figure why I smoke then ? The patch did the same thing.....I`ve done a lot better just quitting cold turkey, a lot of people may disagree with me, but in my own case, I`m psycologcally addicted, if I`m reading and someone lights up, so do I, same with movies............and there are triggers, phone calls, getting in the car, morning coffee. The times I have quit, there was no plan to do it, just got up and thought I`m quitting. I forget how long they say a craving lasts, maybe 30 seconds, and I`ve found that when that happens if you can distract your mind, it does work. My Dad smoked, I`m sure for at least 50 yrs, and he just quit cold turkey, he kept on me to do the same, it`s just like any other battle we fight over things that control us, of course, this is coming from someone with huge control issues that started 2 years ago when Frank got so sick, whenever he was in the hospital, I didn`t have control of health or well being, so I developed anorexia, what i ate was the only thing I had control of, go figure......again, I think if you the patch and believe it`s going to work, it will........Dee
