SkyDekker 1,465 #26 December 2, 2003 Hey Turtle, It's a mental game. Is your mind strong enough? Smoke free for over 3 years now. Quit cold turkey, none of these patches, pills, gum or anything. Plus I dropped 40 pounds all at the same time. You don't need any pills, just a strong mind. I am sure you can do it.
