You should be pleased with yourself!! the patches are just easing the withdrawal but you are still breaking all the routines!! And that is the hardest part!!

Not sure I think it does take 3 days for nicotene to leave the body, you can cross that bridge when you come off the patches later on, but right now your doing fab!! Well done!
