    As an addict, you cannot HANDLE nicotine.
    If you ever get off nicotine, NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

    I smoked from the age of about 16 until I turned 23(pregnant with my daughter)...I am now 26, so 4 yrs. Anyway people don't realize how challenging it is to stop...but I can tell you that after I stopped I have never gotten the urge to smoke again. It is more in the first 6-12 months that is the challenge...to take away from the urge I would crunch on peppermint candy, I never did the patch though. You will be so happy once you complete this goal...good luck :)

    Once you're on the outside looking in, you'll realize how pointless it is to smoke cigarettes. The first step is detoxing, which will eliminate the physical need to light up. You'll likely always associate smoking with "the good ol' days" and romanticize it to some extent in your mind, but hardest step is the one you're currently in, and after that, it's all about dismissing what you believe is longing as nothing but nostalgia. You've grown up, you've had your fun, time to stay healthy. : )

    Thank you:)

    Well, I've been trying to get into a fitness regime, and also taking a course that requires I actually, like, you know concentrate on my writing. Soooo... it just clicked one day, and ever since I quit, things have been way less of a struggle.

    At least the parts I need to focus on, you know?

    Best of luck to you.

    I didn't realize those patches were so expensive. Maybe it's more cost-effective to keep smoking? Just kidding.

    What exactly made you decide that you were going to quit?
