I bought the Nicoderm step 1 patches Friday after work. I smoked my brains out one weekend and drank heavily knowing on Sunday I wanted to quit. Woke up that morning feeling like shit with horrible smokers lung. Put on a patch, and tried my best to keep my mind of smoking.
The patch kept the physical craving away so I didn't have to kill anyone, but the hard part was the mental urge (like taking breaks during work to smoke, smoking during drinking, etc). If you can beat the mental part of it, you'll be fine.
Been smoke free since November and feel a helluva lot better. Smell better too
