I quit smoking last year the day before PA'sarchery opener. I actually didn't intend on quitting permanently, I bought a box of Nicoderm CQ patches with the intentions of not smoking in the woods last season at all. After the first day I said to myself well I tortured myself for a full day, why not 2 days? After 2 days, it wasn't really that bad since I was on the patch. I followed the schedule recommended on the box and after about a month I knew I wasn't going back, why would I have tortured myself for a month just to start again?

I haven't touched one since. I really wish I had the self control to enjoy a good cigar once in a while, but I know I don't so I won't even touch those.
