Is using a patch cheating?

So, I’m on day 26 with the help of a patch. Doing the whole 21mg x6 weeks and then dropping down for the next 4 weeks to nothing. Some folks seem to give me a look when I say I am quitting and using patch...like it’s not really quitting until I’m completely nicotine free. Maybe that’s all in my head with the other crazy thoughts that pop up now..ha! What do you think?

My pulmonary dc wants we to stay on the low dose even longer then expected. He thinks I’m doing great 118 days but I still have issues He wants to make sure I keep my quit. He says it’s low dose and I wo t die from nicotine but I will die very soon from smoking. Do what works for you please just never smoke again ever NOPE

This was a enlightening post for me because I have COPD. That’s the reason I need and want to quit - I’d rather breath than smoke. It’s that simple and it is one of the things I will be reminding myself of from now on.
