I'm going to confess...

OK. I'm going to get a lot of slack for this and, well, I should. I deserve it. Are you ready?
I can't seem to kick the cigarette habit. While I can do it for weeks at a time, I always end up back on them, thinking that I can have one, which then turns into a couple of days. Since all of this began, I've quit about ten times. Today is another day and I'm quitting once again. I put the patch on and I'm swearing to myself that I'm never going to have another one. I'm so frustrated. With the progress I've made since this all began, I'm not understanding why I haven't learned a lesson. Also, I'm wondering if I'm just not using the right method.

After you all yell at me, can someone give me some ideas as to how they finally succeeded in kicking the habit?

Thanks everyone!
