I quit smoking for good in 1980. I moved back to Michigan from Tennessee to live with my grandmother, who didn't allow smoking in her house and I didn't want to sit outside in below-freezing weather just to smoke, so I quit. Unfortunately, I gained quite a bit of weight and it's been a battle ever since!
For about 20-25 years after I quit, I would occasionally dream that I started smoking again, but I was hiding it from everyone and right before I woke up, I would think "I can't believe I went back to smoking after all these years!" It would take me a few minutes after I woke up to realize that it was just a dream and I hadn't gone back to smoking. I haven't had that dream in a long time.
My mother quit smoking after over 50 years. She used that patch. She only used it once because she didn't want to pay $60.00 for another one. But she did stick with it and was cigarette-free for the last 16 years of her life.
Anyway, good for you!
