It's 3 shots, do not forget the one in your ass, and 2 behind your ears :) And it is not just the shots. They give you medication for 2 weeks afterwords, the same thing they inject ya with (the shot, as I understand it, is just to get ya to a therapeutic level), and a path you wear behind your ear for 6 days, and 40 Xanax (.5's). They also suggest you go to behavior therapy as well. I have had a few people I know go through it with some astonishing successes.

In any case, best of luck! As an aside, i think most psychologists will tell you that a multi-pronged approach of medication and behavioral therapies will give you the best chance for success. You might consider some of these therapies in the days and weeks after your shots....as opposed to sitting and hoping :) > Tonite's the night that I will hopefully become an ex-smoker.
