All of you who believe in the Power of Prayer, please pray for me as I will continue to pray for all of you. I am a smoker of 9 years. I am 27 years old. I wanted to thank you for making this information available. Smoking has become such a taboo and it is believed by many that people who smoke are stupid for doing so.
Stupidity has nothing to do with smoking-it is an extremely strong addiction.
After trying to quit cold turkey several times, I decided to try the patch. I am NOT a strong willed person. I do not like to be miserable and I believe that is why my prior attempts at quitting cold turkey failed. I can now focus on the habit end of my addiction, recognize my patterns of cravings, and conquer them. I recommend this method to anyone who has tried to quit cold turkey and cannot.
