patches aren't doing it
I'm using patches and found that the 1st couple of weeks was easier for me to also carry the nicotine lozenges. I'd only take one when the cravings got bad. After that first couple of weeks I didn't need them anymore, until I went to step two with the patch for the first week. I will do the same when I go to step 3. And probably carry them when I'm done with the patch for awhile, just in case. I'll never light up again! Just be careful that you don't take to many with the patch on, at the most I only took maybe 3 or 4 a day. This was enough to stop the craving, and it also reminded me how bad cigs really taste.
hope this helps.
i think you have a great plan in keeping just enough nicotine to keep you satisfied while you wrap your head around being a non=smoker. once off of the patch you might as well go cold turkey as you have to at some point. Definitely time to say goodbye to all forms of nicotine. You will do it. Great job so far.
I was. I forgot to put one on and felt no different so I ditched them all together (read the book too).
You dont need them now. They have been your security blanket🐟
I also ditched the patches after 10 days, because I felt they weren't working for me. I have become addicted to the nicotine lozenges, which I find work really well. I haven't been able to find any sugar-free mints to replace the lozenges with in the supermarkets though?
