Elaine,
The nicotene that you get from patches is much less than you get from smoking, so you are already reducing a lot anyway.
My experience of being on this site for some time now, is that:
1) Everyone is different, and needs to decide what to do for themselves. We can provide information on different methods, but you choose.
2) Quitting smoking is more attitude and determination than anything else
3) It does not really matter what method you use as long as it works for you!
You do not say how long you have been quit, or what strength patches you have been using. You mention that you did not bother to put one on and felt OK.....interesting....how long did that continue for?
By the way, I used the patch, but that was the right method for me. :p
Keep going!
Lizzie :)
