I just quit smoking about 6 months ago. Right after Thanksgiving. I had tried a few times prior with no success. One of the first things I had to do was stop drinking, I knew if I had a few beers I would give in and have a cigerette. I also went and bought both the patch, not step 1 but step 2 the 14mg patch, and the 2mg Commit Losenge. The day I had decedided to make my fresh start was a sunday. When I woke up the first morning I put on a patch and let it help me get through the day. If I started getting a really bad urge I would use one of the Commit. I only did this for 2 weeks, Just one set of patchs.
After the 2 weeks of patch and commit I stepped down to only the losenge. While my frequency of use of the losenge my overall intake of nicotine was still deminishing. Every day you push yourself farther apart. Use lots of self control. Remind yourself why you are doing it. Plan to by something for yourself with the money you will save. You know the drill. I used the Commit Losenge for a total of 3 months, but when I was done, I have no urges to smoke. And I am around them constantly.
I wish you good luck. Stay Strong.
