I've been smoking too long myself. Month or so ago, tried cutting down, only smoking in one room in the house ect. Worked for a while, cut down to about 1/4 of what I was smoking. But started smoking in the office again and getting close to the same thing again. I find it hard to sit in front of the pc all day without smoking. Or getting up to smoke in the smoking room and losing working time.
Though i have yet to do it, seems going cold turkey as majick said is one of the best ways. You can't have a couple around just in case, just gotta get rid of them completely. Now if i can just follow that myself...
Did the patch help at all majick?
