Quit smoking about 6 years ago. Used the patch to get over the cravings. It worked quite well for me. You just have to keep yourself occupied and keep your mind off of it. Give your hands something to do when you think about smoking. Its hard, very hard, and you can only do it when the time is right for you - but if you can make it past those first 2 weeks, you're golden.
Good Luck!
