I can honestly say I feel as I'm a non smoker for the first time in my life. My mental toughness is there !! I keep telling myself I will not smoke. Its been four days now.
The Nicoderm CQ patches are working wonderfully. I have no physical craving for a cigarette. The only mental weakness I have is with doing the things I previously associated with smoking a cigarette.
Driving in the car is the worst. Also when I take the dog outside. It'll probably mess the dog up as she knew once I flicked the cherry of the cigarette it was time to go in. Now I just let her go out all by herself.
The biggest change right now is that I CONSIDER myself a NON-SMOKER and plan to be that way forever. The real test will be when I go back to work after my vacation is over. When I beat that first week back I'll know I've beat the mental aspect of quiting.
Wish me luck....

I don't think you need luck. I think you're DOING it! I quit after 30 years & it was great to call myself a nonsmoker. I used the patch too. 1 suggestion: remind yourself of the good things about not smoking: no yellow teeth, no smokers breath, no emphysema!, no clothes that stink like smoke, no more nicotine in your car (on the roof, it's there), you're choosing to LIVE! breathmints helped a lot. I'm going to blogmark your site.
I'd also like to invite you to join our webring for bipolar bloggers. I have a blog just w/info, instructions & a link to join, if you'd like: http://bipolarplanet.blogspot.com

Good luck! You will surely succeed. Just tell yourself that you have never been a smoker.
