Mr Ed, Can you keep a secret? You know what happens when you go without your patch for the first time............ er um, well nothing much. This is the same as any other 'step down' you have done, except it is the easiest one. Again you will probably 'notice it' for a couple of days.....and then you know for certain that the rest of your problems are psychological. :eg: :p Hey, you are doing great! You know when someone goes without their patch, on this site it is called 'going naked'...so I'm glad you picked a sunny day for it. ;) As our American friends would say "Way to Go". Lizzie :)

Fran, Do not be too worried. The hard step down is from smoking-patch 1, and possibly from patch 1-patch 2. Yes, you will probably 'notice' a difference for a couple of days, but nothing like week 1 or week 2 or week 3.... I was worried too - I think it is probably normal to worry! You have been developing good coping skills over the last weeks, and you will be OK.

Mr Ed, We are all a little scared when we face change. It is time for you to move forward. You are not alone with this change :). You have this support group to get you through the cravings/withdrawals if need be. We are standing by and keeping our fingers crossed. Stay strong, Melanie ____________________ The SSC Support Team
