It happens. I've done that before. The only way I'm getting by right now is with the lozenges. Wow! Lemme tell ya, todays day one, by now I would of gone crazy but three of these puppies since 7am has kept me cool. I'd look into it. I've tried the gum but there's a special way to chew it, I'm not too good at remembering that so I chose the Loz. On the patch I ended up smoking as well so that was no help, but this stuff really is working. During each of my breaks I kept having to remind myself, You are quitting, look you are walking this fast for this long and you aren't even winded. Just remind yerself of why yer quitting, and look into some of the stop smoking aids. 🙂 Good luck Mike.
