took the patches off at the end of jan and doing ct now which is not to bad at the moment.
would love a cig but dont need one and wont have one.
begining to wonder why I didnt give up sooner, but without this site I doubt if I would have had the courage to try.

I know that feeling why did I wait so long to quit...why didn't I do it sooner.
I put mine down to fear of the not knowing and the fear of the nicotine withdrawal but I'm soo glad that I did/am doing it.:D
fear of the unknown is horrible, but im so glad ive done it now and saving so much money.
Billy
Yep that is so true keep up the good work 
Good luck going without the patches!!
Am off them too, and TBH I feel better without them, although I do need some gum to keep the craves under control.

I had so many stupid reasons for that!!
That I liked smoking (wrong most of the time) that it was something I did for me (err, yeah but I did think like that :S) that I was too young to need to worry, that I smoked lights so it didn't count, that I "couldn't" quit (very wrong ) and all kinds of stupid junkie thinking.
Thank goodness I came to my senses!!
do you ever get to the stage when you dont think about them or does that feeling just go after a period of time.

I've not been on patches since wk 3 of my quit n I don't really think about them that often.
Everyone has different symptoms/timelines.

I don't think about fags so much now - it used to be like a constant nagging in my brain like a toddler throwing a tantrum but there's still times when I want one. Am not giving in though!!
