Default Re: I want to quit smoking but i fail everytime

Funny I should find myself here again.

I stopped smoking Feb' 20. Have not had another since.

21mg patches for about 2.5 months, then dropped to 14mg for a further 2 months. It took a good 3+ months for the cravings to stop completely.
Some days were tougher than others. I nearly caved about 3 months in, but thankfully I didn't. I found other things tended to take up my time, so stopping for a cig rarely entered my mind.
After meals was the worst, for about 3 odd months, but just sit tight for 30 minutes & the cravings dwindle.

When you forget to apply a patch & you don't notice the lack of, then you're golden.
