Does anyone know the differrence? I am experiencing what I think are Thoughts, about smoking. They come and go pretty quickly. But, I'm unsure about Cravings. Maybe I'm not actually having any cravings because I am using the Nicotine patch. I have used the patch succesfully in the past and followed the instructions to a TEE. However, within a month or 5 weeks after stopping use I have started smoking again.... I'm very apprehensive to stop using the patch, however, I really want to lose the Nicotine.. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and if anyone else has had similar experiences. Thanks, not wanting to relapse ever again! Louise
