I quit many, many times but had trouble staying quit. I was both physically and psychologically addicted. What finally did the trick was the Nicoderm patch. The patch fed me nicotine for the physical addiction while my psychological side got past the physical pleasures of smoking. Yes, to a smoker they are pleasures.

Taking my doctor's advice, for the first couple of years I kept some nicoderm patches around. When I got one of those strong impulses to buy cigarettes, on went a patch. A few days and I weaned back off the patch.

Ten years this past November 8th.
