Posted January 29, 2008
Summary
It's two weeks into the New Year and Marcy has had a set back - she's smoking again. Using a prescription medication to cut her cravings only worked for the first week. Now, she's trying to ween herself off, which has been a struggle. The DeterminedToQuit.com tools, however, are helping track her progress and provide private support.
