Life without the patch (Day 292)

Day 292-  Anyone who tells you that quitting smoking is not that hard, has never been a smoker.  I will not sugar coat it, quitting the habit of smoking is extremely hard and sometimes frustrating.  What you really need to know to making quitting a little easier is that you really want to quit, you are done, for whatever reason, you just don't want to smoke anymore.  This is the single most important thing to becoming a successful quitter, you really have to want to quit.  I am much happier now that I can breath easier and do more things without running out of breathe.  One of the biggest benefits of not smoking is the fact that I finally had enough money for my wife and I to purchase our first home.
