Hi Zen Calm, I'm hoping your hanging in there. I have had unsuccessful attempts using NRT patches in the past. And I know others swear by them, so without declaring them useless (on me) or the greatest product on others: below is one link to a story I kept handy which may help your Query?

Hi puffnomore. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am hanging in there. The link is very helpful and I stopped using the patches yesterday. I am feeling good .

So far I am feeling calmer without them. 🙏🏻

You reminded me to contact a member who has a wonderful story. Pisces quit the patch early with no cravings. Mindset makes it so much easier. A must read for you Zen Calm and others

Thanks happiness - love that story. I have read the Allen Carr book a few times. I found my journey was a little easier with the patches for a few weeks, however , I am feeling much better without them. Haven’t had any cravings, my head is clearer, I feel happy and free. 🤗
