    I quit smoking nearly 3 years ago (after 12 years) after trying many times to quit. ALL the other times I had tried, I wanted to quit, but the last time it was because I didnt want to smoke anymore - and I think there's a difference.

    When I did it, although I got cravings, instead of denying myself, I just used to tell myself "Fine, I'm going to get some." Then by the time I got ready to leave the house, the craving had gone.
    I couldnt use the patches or anything because it made me feel like I had no choice but to not smoke, and I needed to be able to make that choice at that time for myself (I hope I explained it properly).

    My worst day was day 7.
