Are you using nicotine gum/lozenges and/or patches during this time? Nicotine had been the hardest drug for me to quit. The only real time that I’ve had from nicotine has been when I’ve been in jail. I’ve been clean from heroin/opioids for about 8 years and crack/cocaine for about 10 years but I can’t even go a few minutes w/o nicotine (whatever form) for more than a few moments after I wake up and then I need nicotine no less than 1/2 an hour without a smoke, dip, vape, lozenge, or chaw. I hate nicotine patches because they are impossible to keep lit.
good luck BK! I’m jealous, I can’t quit smoking/dipping for the life of me. I can make it about a month max w/o nicotine then I’m biting my stained nails and eating my stained beard for the nicotine. Keep it up. Your my hero now.
Yeah, nicotine is a toughie, but I was never a crazy heavy smoker. Like 10/day, but for the past 16 years. I was on the patch for the first 5 days (14mg nic/24hrs transdermal) and I have nic gum for spikes in cravings. The past two days I have just been using the gum when I have a craving spike. I just felt it was time to give it up. I've also been off heroin for 8 years too and meth for 5, so gj on that brother.
I'm not nicotine free, just cig free, but my nic levels are down too. I don't even care if I get hooked on the gum, it's the smoking that is fucking up my health mostly.
