Still going
More than 3 weeks in and still haven't had a cigarette (yay me!).

One thing that they don't tell you (and apparently couldn't be arsed to put it on the packet) is that you have to wave the patch around for 15 seconds to get rid of the alcohol on it. If you don't do this (and why would you if you weren't told) you can develop a rash as the alcohol can burn the skin slightly .....
