Congratulations Tennielle on almost 2 days!!! You've got it - whatever it takes, just don't smoke. Whyquit is a good site for some things, but I think they scare people who really need the NRT to quit away from that, and therefore, those people fail. It's MUCH better to use NRT than to smoke... I think even whyquit.com will admit to that. So if that's what it takes for you to quit, then go for it!!!
I sometimes relate it to exercise. I broke my foot a few years ago and for about a year and a half, I had a pin in my foot (I couldn't afford to have it taken out) and even walking was hard. If the only exercise available was walking or running, I wouldn't have exercised... not then and not now (because I HATE running!) So, swimming was my no impact solution to exercise... and it still is. If I weren't able to swim, I wouldn't exercise... that's why there are different methods. But to me, aerobic exercise is aerobic exercise... and as long as you're doing it, then that's good enough. The same holds true for quitting smoking... however you do it, as long as you do it, is fine. It's not really important HOW you do it, as long as it gets done. That's my opinion. Best wishes on the patch!
Crave the Quit!
