Hi! First, this time is different for you because you are here now with us! :D That three day thing may have taken a larger place in your mind than it should. Just because that happened, does not mean it will happen now.
I used to read the statistics regarding quitting smoking, how most people need several times before their "sticky quit." I used to think , well that's not me. I will be in the percentile of persons who will succeed. .... So far, so good for me . The same it will be for you. :)
I did the whole course of the patches, all three levels, for about three + months. I had smoked for 30 isn years. I also read Allen Carr, read articles at other places, such as Whyquit,com, chatted on the boards, meditated and ate a lot of candy. Whatever it took!
See you here later and tomorrow, smoke free.
