I'm almost to my second anniversary. I'd like to recommend you go Cold Turkey. It is the really the only way to go. All the little products they want to sell you give you doses of nicotine (supplied by Big Tobacco) so you can't ever break free and get over that withdrawal hump. There's a group out there called Freedom from Nicotine that I highly recommend. Good luck to you!
