for me, i called 1.800.quit since i have medicaid, they set me up with a quit coach who phoned me every month or i could call whenever i needed, we talked about what was the best method to quit for me...we decided on the patches so they sent me a lil booklet and literature and the 21mg patches enough for two weeks, beforehand i picked a date 4-19-12, i got rid of my lighters and ashtrays etc told everyone around me that i was quitting so they could respect my quit...when my patches arrived i used as directed joined this group and the rest is history! congratulations on your decison to quit its not easy but its definitely worth it good luck

Hi Sassy and welcome to the 'family' of Ex-smokers. There are many different methods to quitting,what works for one, may not work for the other. I was able to quit a 37+year habit with the help of Chantix AND this amazing group of supporters.I have been cigarette free for over 3 years now.
