I Used The Gum Instead Of The Patch. Bought Three Boxes Of Those 42 Piece Of Gum And In Three Months I Was Addictted To The Gum... Slowly Weened Myself Off The Gum And Im Now Two Months Nicotine Free.
I Found Myself Smoking In Between Gum, Or Once In A While Kind Of Thing(bumming smokes). but i still kept at it until finally one day the brain just finally decided i didnt need that smoke first thing in the morning.
Good Luck,
Ted
P.S
Also Dont Let Other Discourage You. If You Slip You Slip Its Not Like Your Smoking Two Packs A Day. Every Day Is One Step Closer To Quitting Smoking.
