I have not smoked since Feb 1. I am using the nicotine patch, and it has worked pretty well so far. Got the pattern of smoking a cig after/before/during everything in my life broken.

Now I am giving up the patch. Man... I am having many, many dual personality diaologues with myself since I did this. Funny how I keep trying to rationalize 1 cig/puff - it's just the demon talking and I tell it no. Whyquit.com at least 3 times a week for inspiration

I laugh at how creative my addiction is at coming up with ways that I can have just 1 cig and no one will know...

I have to find some other Go To for stress though. What do you do when you get really stressed? I seemed to gravitate towards coping through calories.
