Welcome aboard the train @JustQuit83 and congratulations on getting your freedom back You'll find all the support you want here from members in all phases of quitting from newbies like you to us old phartes who have a year or more so between us all you should be able to find any answers to any questions you may have while going through this tough first year.
I'm glad you're checking out the various boards, lots of good info there as well as a fun Social Section for getting your mind off quitting while still staying close to your support.
I'm glad the NRT's are working for you, please be careful while using them that you don't over use them. It can be really dangerous. I think it's safer to choose either patches or lozenges or take the patch off while using the lozenges and then put it back on if you need to.
I'm going to move this thread to our Introduction forum so more members will see it

Well done @ammj, one day at a time smile ☺
Another thing that was very inspirational in the early days is our tickers for your signature. You'll be able to watch the money saved, time since and cigarettes NOT smoked since you quit. I LOVED logging on ech morning to see mine. You can find the tab for them at the top of the forum ☺

Welcome aboard the train @chime and congratulations for taking back your freedom I agree with intoxicated yoda, using NRT'S is not a cop out so get that out of your head.
As far as the patch goes we have quite a few members who used them at the start of their quits. I didn't so I'll let them give you any clues. I have read on several different posts that as their quits progressed they forgot to put one on in the morning and that's how they stopped using them.
I'm glad you've been reading the forums. There's a lot of good info there starting with the pinned posts.
I'm looking forward to your success

Good job posting for help @ammj, just stay here and let the crave pass. You can do something that you usually do that you don't smoke doing like taking a shower or bath, eat etc. I never smoked in my car so I would get in my car and take a drive around the neighborhood, and it was enough to get rid of the craving. I also used my air cigarette. It's just an invisible cig that I would pretend I was holding and then I would take puffs just lie I would an actual cigarette and it worked great in tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing
Oh and welcome to quittrain Congratulations on taking your freedom back!!

I just got off the phone with my mother in-law, at almost 60 her oldest son was told he had a large mass on one of his lungs that's growing and most likely cancer. He refused a biopsy and was told he had 6 months to live if he does nothing. He's also schizophrenic so upon hearing this news he quit smoking but also quit his medication. Luckily they got him back on it and he has stayed quit although unfortunately it's too late for him.................
Don't let this be you! Quit NOW!!!!

Well done @Gus, you came across a trigger that you hadn't dealt with before and kicked it to the curb! The good thing about triggers this far into your quit as you saw was how quickly it passed
