Help in breaking the habit

I have been trying to quit smoking for almost 1 year now and presently in a Quit Smoking Program, called "Put-It-Out-Rockland."  It's my 2nd go-round with this program and I'm still struggling.  The most I can get off cigarettes is 2 days & then the cravings are insane.  I just found out that Nicotine is an anti-depressant!  When I began smoking was right after college when a depression set in, in my life.  If anyone can start another 12-Step Nicotine Anonymous meeting in Westchester County, I sure would appreciate it and if Westchester Government could do for us what Rockland County is doing - a stop smoking program where patches are provided free for 6 weeks, this would be helpful too.  I know there are on-line meetings and telephone help, but I find physically being at a 12-Step meeting just for smokers is so much more effective.  Any suggestions for depression sufferers would be welcomed.
