nil, ooli

Alright, I'm cutting a deal with the both of you. I have two day's worth of nicotine gum left - after it's gone I'll go cold turkey, like you both suggested. I'll keep you guys updated.

nil, sorry friend but I'm gonna need your help to understand what the fuck you're talking about! If you think there's some substance that can help me out, I'm all ears

The trick is to do it one hour at the time.

When craving, drink some water, find some distraction. The craving long far less than it seems.

After 48h without nicotine in your body. You have no more physiological dependency. The mental one endure for 2 month, and for some people that the most difficult. It's the demon in your brain having those automatic pathway of activity associated with nicotine. Change your routine, and tame the demon

You can do it!

You're worth it!

Withdrawals suck! I've gone on and off a few different SSRI/SNRI class drugs, which sucks, and I'm currently down-titrating something that's related, which also sucks.

That period of time of things sucking is worth the trade.
