Jenni, just wanted to say good luck on our day. I am so looking forward to that new beginning. I too was a smoker for almost 26 years UGH!! I quit March 14, 2003. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I used the patch and was done using that within the second month. The cravings come and go mostly have gone now. So dont stress out over that it takes alot get where you are today, so one day at a time. I will be looking forward to seeing how you come along with your weight loss. May God bless and keep you.........sherri
