   Well I took the plunge and decided to quick. It as been by far one of the best decisions. I am currently using the 21mg patch. I also have the gum and lozenges but have not needed to use them. I found that going in with a positive attitude was a big help. Here’s to healthy positive changes.

   Hi wants,
   
   Yes, as you say, quitting smoking is one the best decisions you can make.  And to herald treepeo the wise, your positive attitude is key to the success of breaking the addiction.  It's great that you have a plan as well.
   
   I wish you all the 'healthy positive changes' you are about to experience.

   Well on Monday March 4,2019 it will be one month since I had my last smoke. I must say the journey has been a lot easier then I anticipated. Yes there have been days that I just wanted to go outside a light one up. But I didn’t . My family has been very supporting and so have my co-workers. I am also thankful for this forum to be able to document my journey. 😁
