Glad to hear your positive comments about your early quit ICH!
I had a similar issue with the patch in my early quit. I forgot to put it on after my morning shower on day 3. When I realized it around noon that day I figured .... OK; let's see how long I can go because I wanted nicotine out of my system as soon as possible. For me. it worked I'm still not sure if that was the right decision or not but I did make it through.
In the end, do what ever you have to in order to keep your quit going. In retrospect, it was totally worth the quit symptoms - bitchiness, sleep disruptions, and brain fog etc. That stuff doesn't last that long so it's an annoyance but very doable.
Great job so far. Keep it going
