Quitting smoking.

Thanks, Cliff, Steve. I want (need) to quit soooo bad. Been smoking for around 40 yrs, quit once for about 9 months when i had cancer back in 07. It wasn't to hard at that time. Had to have my tonsils out before i could start treatments, so between not being able to swallow and laying in bed medicated it wasn't to bad. My problem is that most of the time my son is working and i'm by myself so there's no one there to tell me NO you don't NEED that butt, NO don't go get any. Think i'm going to go to drug store and get the patch os some nicotene gum or something. I have quit every other bad habbit i have ever had, some could have had disasterous results. I'm going to read this whole thread everytime i want a smoke. Sometimes it makes me so depressed that i feel like a failure because i can't kick this. :cry:
