smoking cessation
"I made it to the other side.  I have been smoke free for two years. I tried again and again to quit, probably took about 10 times before it stuck. I did use the patch each time I quit, but I would always go to the bar, take the patch off and start my pack a day habit again.  Smoke for a week, then buy more patches.  You have to really want to quit to do it.  I think the patch is great at keeping your nicotine cravings at bay while you learn to deal with the mental addiction of quitting.  Do whatever it takes, and don't listen to those harpees who say that using a NRT is not really quitting."
