1st day for me of the wicked weed, Ive smoked for 30 years plus, approx 20 cigs a day rolling tobacco for the last year or so, and have decided for the good of my health its time to kick the habit. Im currently wearing a Niquitin patch 21mg the 24hr ones, and have some niccorette 2mg gum as reserve although I havent used any yet. Doing ok at the moment but obviously very early days. So just a hello from me for now.

Hi Graham

A very warm welcome to the forum. Your story is similar to mine, same length of time smoking and I quit using patches, and guess what, 6 months plus quit for me!

So Graham, follow in my size 6 footsteps, try not to look too far ahead, baby steps, and you'll be fine. May this be the one for you my love;)

Thanks for the warm welcome lads & lasses your encouragement is much apreciated , looks like day 1 has been a success no tobacco today and not long until bedtime. I had a peice of gum but Im not sweating it at this early stage. I will use what ever helps me to get a head start on the road to recovery.
