I used the patch and it worked for me, I hope you have as much success as I did. It really does feel wonderful to NOT smoke anymore. Take it 1 day at a time and you will do it. Its not easy but its worth it!!

Hi Barbara - YOU CAN DO IT!!! You're tough enough to quit. Just take one day at a time and you'll win. With the passing of every day - it gets easier. It really does. Be ready for the bumps in the road and keep the quit going! Nice to have you here.
