I had quit for several weeks, and slowly fell back in the trap one cig at a time. My wife smokes, so I cannot remove all of the temptation around me . Still, I am determined. I have set a quit date for the 25th which is my birthday.
I had good success with the patch (7 weeks no smoking!!!) and only after being off the patch a few weeks did I falter. I still have a bunch of gum laying around as well. I know last time I was doing so well I didn't reach out for support much, which I believe was a downfall. Hopefully this time I will make it stick.

Hey Seahoch, really great to see you back, well done! You appear to be in a great mindset which is vital in our quits. Yes, you are right, support and encouragement is so important too, so definitely stay close to us and if struggling at any time do up the following post:
Thanks Roisin! Just put out what I hope is my last cig at 1012pm. Tomorrow is my birthday and I plan on being smoke free! Headed out of town to the beach for a few day tomorrow . I'm hoping that the change in environment will help in my quit. Thanks for your support!!!!
Excellent news about the 25th. My husband smokes so I feel your pain! You're right about the support. In the past I have under estimated just how vital it is.
