Hey, I quit using the patches, I think they are literally the best thing ever, I couldnt have done it without them!! Its defintely not a cop out, its a very useful tool, they realllllly help, and you can just work down the strength of the patch over time. Coming off the patches wasnt then like going cold turkey, I worked down the strength over time and then found odd days where i had forgot to put on the patch! Thats when I thought i was ready to come off them when that kept happening, i suppose i did use them as a crutch in the beginning, but i needed that! We had lots of smoking rituals and my new ritual was putting on the patch, setting me up for the day! Good luck with it!
