When I started the patch I would use the 2mg nic gum for times when things got too intense. I would have a piece every day for the first few days and then one evry couple of days and then would go without. When I moved down to step two I did the same thing. I have not had the gum for a while but decided to stay on step two a week longer than I originally thought that I would. On Friday, I am moving to step three and will probably use the gum a little once again.

I am a little nervous about moving down another step. The past few days have been the toughest for me. I don't know why but that has definately been the case. I am looking foreward to being off the patch all together and think that sometimes the patch makes it tougher by giving you a big hit of nicotine in the morning and then fading away throughout the day.

Anyways, thanks for listening and lets all Keep the Quit!!!!
