I have recently quit smoking, it has been 3 weeks!! I really feel like a new person, healthy and all of the above. I used the patch to quit, and I really have no desire to go back. Had a couple of really vivid dreams in the beginning, but after that was o.k., anybody have any good success stories?

I First wanted to say wonderful Job. Quitting smoking is horribly hard and im headed down that road when the new year comes, its my new years resolution. I have quit once, cold turkey, i went strong for 11 months and then started back up again..bad mistake. So good luck and keep up the good work, i'll be joining you soon in the battle to quit. the one thing i will like about quitting is the money you save..if your a smoker like me, you spend alot of money on smokes

I now have a LOT of extra spending money. Even though i have factored in the cost of patches, I have already noticed a big difference. I do more clothing shopping now, and I buy things for myself when I want them........

I've had great results from using the patch as well Kris. Great job!! I'm almost 2 months out now so it definately works. This is my 2nd time quitting. The first time i lasted 2 1/2 yrs before i relapsed (long story--not the patches fault). I know what you mean about the dreams though---pretty funny huh? and you actually remember them as well!!

I know!! Its hard to explain to people the kinds of dreams you are having when you use the patch!! -+- And you really do remember everything!!

I have never been a smoker, so I can not relate. However, I just wanted to tell you Great Job!!!!
