Bobbie, This is day nine for me, and the patches really help. Get some. They're worth every penny. Get the lozenges too, so you have something in your mouth. That helps alot too. I tried cold turkey, and nearly killed my two kids. So I got the patches, which has helped the mood swings a bit. If you're really disgusted, like I was, then you'll reach the point where you'll do whatever it takes. Best of luck.
