would you all judge me horribly if I told you that Ive been on full strenght patches for two months now and i know that I should wean myself down to the 15mg patches but I cant quite face it just yet. Ive started taking them off at night though which is a big thing for me cos morning cravings are the worst. Now I live for the tingle I get when my patch goes on. Since I cant smoke ciggies I actually like this feeling...Am I a horrible nicotine addict.

Scousemouse you are not horrible (at least i dont think you are but i haven't seen a piccie :eek: ) but you are a nicotine addict.......but so are we all, its just that you have swapped one delivery method for another, patch for Cigarette.

Bible Black has made some good posts reference cutting down on patch use, try searching through his posts re this and you may find info to help you to wean yourself off them.

Also have a good read on whyquit (i have been accused of advising this a lot :D) but it really can help you to understand nicotine addiction.:eek:
