It s just a step 2 patch and I don t wear it at night. so does that meen that I m only getting the nicotine of 5 ciggaretts in a day instead of 10? I can concentrate on fighting the mental withdrawls instead of the physical withdrawls. tonight was a little harder but having a smoking related disease is much harder. One day at a time I don t care if i have to use nictoine replacment for 3 months I will do anything I have to do not to smoke.
