I'm reading and using the patches. I will be glad when I'm finshed with the patches. I really don't want nicotine in my body but I do know that I'm not ready to do cold turkey right now.

Keep up the good work. Nothing wrong with using an aid when the final outcome is to be smoke free. Continued success.

Keep it up...I agree that you will know when it's time to get off the patches. JonesCarpeDiem used them and then forgot to put one on and he carried one in his wallet, just in case he felt like his quit was threatened. I LOVE that story, he never had to use it.
When you forget to put them on is a logical time to consider if you still need them.
I forgot my 4th day but the next day I felt shaky so I put one on. The next week I forgot 2 days in a row. I knew I didn't need them anymore. Listen to your body.
One day at a time is my favorite time!!! Keep up the great work!
Dale is so right.... Congrats on your Quit!
Thanks everyone. This is a great group
Good for you for following your own instincts. You'll know when you're ready to leave the patch behind. Until then be patient. I used them with great success. They really eased the withdrawals the firs few weeks while I worked on getting ahead of my smoking triggers. Keep reading, keep studying. keep going It is worth it.
