I managed a bit over 2 months without smoking once, I did cold turkey. Got hooked again after a stressful night in the ER where another patient waiting offered me a smoke.
Thanks for the encouragement! EDIT: And congrats on a year!
Thanks! Its a process that needs management, it doesnt have an end point unfortunately, its just part of my maitenance like brushing my teeth. You got this! A relapse isnt a failure, its acknowledgment youve been successful to that point, next time youll go even longer without.
Fair enough. I know you’re not really supposed to drink with it in your mouth but you can kind of chew and park, put it between your gums. It’s a little more active way of getting the nicotine and having that oral fixation placated vs the patch. I mean if the patch should work for you, heck, you do you, anything is better than OG cigarettes though
I live off espresso, weed and nicotine, and then I wonder why I don’t always feel good.
I did just buy some nicotine patches to try and quit the last one. Maybe fourth time’s the charm?
My wife was in the same boat as you, but then she found out she was pregnant and that worked for her. Hopefully she stays off it when the baby’s born.
Looks like you need to get pregnant.
I just hit a year, wont lie its pretty tough but it does get easier. Just keep trying until you can kick it.

Wish you luck ;)
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Have you tried the gum yet?
The idea of it kinda grosses me out, plus I’m usually too busy drinking espresso for gum :P
