Success Stories

Quitting smoking can be done. Hear from someone who has.

My stepdad died from lung cancer and, on top of that, smoking just got to be too much of a hassle
and too expensive. After consulting with my doctor, I used NicoDerm CQ patches and started to
realize that I could really do things in my life without smoking. The most rewarding moments were
the first times I did things without smoking, like the first drive in the car, the first storm and the first
cup of coffee.

When I decided to quit smoking, I sought help from a community of addiction counselors and online resources,such as CommitedQuitters.com. Because I used the NicoDerm CQ patch, I was able to address my psychological and mental habits that needed to be changed in order to become
successfully smoke-free, while leaving the physical aspects of quitting to the patch. – Deborah M.

I didn't set out to quit. I smoked one and a quarter packs of cigarettes per day for over 40 years. About seven weeks ago, I decided to make an effort to quit. I needed help so I quit smoking and started using the NicoDerm patch. It was never a cake walk, but I can say I’ve been smoke-free for over 76 days.

“I bought the patch, read the directions, followed the plan and finished the program smoke-free.”

I was a smoker for 25 years and finally quit using the patch. My final motivation to kick the habit
came after my son began smoking. He said I couldn't seriously ask him to quit while I was
smoking. Three weeks later, on April Fool's Day, I quit.

I had a great experience using NicoDerm^® CQ^® and Committed Quitters^®. What I liked best about the product was
the free quit plan. I bought the patch, read the directions, followed the plan and finished the program smoke-free.

I feel like the patch took care of my physical addiction to nicotine, but the psychological addiction was much harder
to overcome. Every day was a temptation. In the car. Talking on the phone. After dinner. You name it. I learned
to beat my psychological addiction by listening to music and reading, usually when my cravings were the strongest.
Deep breathing was also a GREAT help. It calmed my nerves and got my mind off of the cigarettes.

I can honestly say that I have not had one cigarette since my quit day. I am very proud of my accomplishment and
NEVER want to be a smoker again. One cigarette leads to another and then you're back at square one.

My advice… Plan! Plan! Plan! Get psyched for the process. Tell all your friends. Set a quit date. Do your homework
so you know what to expect. Follow the program in the NicoDerm kit. Do all the steps for the prescribed period on time.
This gives you about 9 weeks of assistance. Nine weeks of not smoking! They have researched this process and it
DOES work!
