Okay - point taken - day 2 of no patches. No dip since 12/10. What now?
Today is day 2. That's whats. I had the same mindset when I quit, and was using the patches to get my fix. I thought it was so much better than cope. I thought I could "ween" myself off. That was simply my addiction trying to hold on a tiny little bit longer.
Fuck that. I'm free.
Can a full blown alcoholic have a little wine with dinner to ween themselves off?
Can a amphetamine addict take a little hit off the pipe to ease the pain of withdrawal?
Can an opiate addict have a little hit of morphine when they have a back ache?
No.
Why would you be able to have the substance your addicted to, merely because its in a different form.
Addiction has no logic.
