10 weeks today and no more patches

I never thought I would say this but its 10 weeks today and I am no longer using the patches. I have learnt how to deal with the cravings which are getting less and less but more intense!

I think the hardest thing was deciding no more cigarettes, I found that a very daunting prospect but once I got over that which took about eight years lol the rest is quite straightforward if you do a day at a time :)
