Quitting with the patch

Hi. I quit smoking 7 days ago by wearing the patch. Anyone out there have any success or experience with quiting with the patch.

Hi Sandra and welcome😊 Great that you have got your first week over with.... That's one of the hardest😊👍

I gave up with patches this time and so far so good. 

Make sure you use a different side and location for the patch, always carry a spare and try taking it off about 30 minutes before bed to reduce the weird dreams 😊

You might want to think about an additional NRT product like the gum or spray when you are having a difficult day or craving 😊

Have a good mooch around the site especially the pinned posts and if you need anything then just holler. We are a friendly group and have all been where you are😊

We say NOPE.... Not One Puff Ever 🚭🚭

Good luck with your quit and keep this site nice and close and we will support you 😊😊👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I am amazed i have made it this far. I have my back up of lozenges if i need them but as crazy as it sounds i haven't needed them. I sleep with my patches on. They do produce weird dreams but for now i figure it is the safe bet. 25 years of cigarettes/ vaping/ electronic cigarette habit. No more.  Not even one puff ever. 😆👍👏

I used  patches!  Really helped me break patterns. After 25 days of 21mg I stopped using them.

Had 1 cig yesterday and it was  minging. Never again!!!!!!!

I'm loving that I don't  smoke and that keeps me positive.  (Never want to have to quit again)

Hi firecrow thanks for the reply.  That helps me to know that those things are still nasty. Ive gone 8 days today and still feel like there is no turning back now. Did you step down on your patches. Or just quit wearing them?
