quit smoking

Some of you might remember me, it has been about 15 days since I last took a pill, I still am feeling great on that front, however I decided last sunday I wanted to stop smoking(I also would use chew when I was in a situation where I could not smoke). after 4 days of tapering off the amount of cigs (from my normal pack a day to about 8) I put on a 14mg nicotine patch. I stayed on patches for just 2 days then decided that I was just gonna take it off and see how long I could go...this was saturday at about 6 and I am amazed at how easy it has been, I really don't have cravings at all and never had any w/d from it. I really was expecting it to be bad but it has been really easy. Maybe it just seems that way since the w/d from the pills is still fresh in my mind? I dunno has anyone else had anything like this happen?
