Tricia2 I anquished over the same question at first. I began my quit with water and 2 mil lozenges only. A firend of mine brough me a few patches on day 2, or 3. The patches really helped, and I cut down on the lozenges. Now, I happened to run in to Kozmic Bird in Arrizona, and she expained to me that everyone is different as far as quitting, and that studies have proven that NRT has a far higher success rate than cold turkey. This had a calming effect. She also told me that after a couple of months on the NRT, getting off of it is just like a passing thought. Well, right now I am using a 14 mil patch, and about 6 mil lozenges a day, and I can tell you my desire for the boost(lozenges0 is falling daily. Listen, the 1st couple of days, I could have taken 30 lozenges, and it wouldn't have helped that much. I was a SMOKER, over 200 mils a day, and i have cut that by 90%. MY body has adjusted, and it gets easier every day. Are you using NRT, or drugs? john Delete Comment
