Here we go again!!

I've lost count of the times I've attempted to quit and failed.. Been a smoker for 16 years :( Last attempt after I caved to the urge, I just went to being a smoker for a year (very ashamed of that) !!! So, here I am again. I'm using NRT because cold turkey work for me (never last longer than a week or so) and champix made me sick ! Only day 1 but the patch is working wonderfully and when I had the urge to smoke after my morning coffee I had a nicorette gum (plus I have the nicorette spray as a last resort if I feel I'm going to run to the store to buy a packet). I intend to do the NRT whole course (3 months). No excuses this time. I've hit the point where I'm embarrassed to smoke in public, I wash my hands after I smoke because I despise the smell and always ashamed I'm still a smoker. I know I'm ready to kick this for good, just need to toughen up :) good luck to everyone xxx
