Hi Everyone , am quitting smoking after doing it for 16 years the last time. A good day was a packet, a bad day on the drink, well double that. I have some old patches and lozenges. What could go wrong? ok to my advantage Im off work so can hide myself away physically to get thru first bit.

Has today been easier than yesterday @TAB? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 3rd week is really difficult for a lot of people - if you can get through that it's supposed to start getting easier.
