its makin me nuts. whats worse, I think its making the people around me nuts as well. poor bastards.
anyone have any tips to keep me on track? or at least to keep me from backsliding even more than I have? I'll be facing my first weekend sans cigs and fear just surrendering to it.

Hold on...hubby and I are going to try again! Last year we quit about six times. People laugh -- but that's quite a few cigs NOT smoked from where we sit. Anyway, I'm looking at quitting Sunday night. In the past, I'd get throught weekends by programming the hell out of them: try scheduling art projects, reading in the park (near the kids on swings -- so you won't be tempted even though outside), going indoor places where you can't smoke.
As to the afternoon crawlies -- try the gum (or lozenge) at times on top of the patch. It won't kill you, and is better than going back on the cigs. Sometimes you just need that little bump past a craving.
Good luck!
