I have tried to stop smoking before I had tried zyban but I am not into taking the pills I guess its a fear of being addicted to something else I had tried the patches before and 11 days later I started smoking again, well 8 months later I knew I had to do this so I went and got the patches again but one thing I changed I did get rid of the ashtrays but not my ciggerettes I guess you could say its a mind control I knew they were there and it was a decision I had to make and a fight I had to fight,, well whatever it was I was on the patches for 3 weeks and I stopped puting using them I am happy to say I am almost 8 weeks without smoking. If I can do this anyone can I am 34 yrs old and have smoked for 15 yrs.and at 34 I started having the effects of the ciggerettes chronic bronc. asma (had never had it before)and chest pains and shortness of breath,, I basically knew I had to make the decision if I wanted to live or Die!!! and being married for over 15 yrs and 3 wonderfull kids,, I want to live.
