I stepped down off the patch with no big problems. I used the 21 mf 3 weeks, 14 mg for 2 weeks, and 7 mg for 1 week. The physical addiction is one thing and the patch helps with that. The psychological addiction is another thing - that is where you need to learn to live without cigarettes by finding new hobbies or interests that keeps you moving forward. Reading, cooking, exercise, games, puzzles, etc. Best wishes!
