Back on my bullshit, quitting, again. This time I called my 1-800 quit line and ordered the patch to help. But it’s so ass backwards their shipping is 7-14 days usps. So with that logic by the time I get the patch the cravings will have stopped since they normally subside by day 4 or 5, fucking stupid.
I’m in a bad mood and want a smoke.
*edit: wow I’m really in a bad fucking mood, like I want to fight someone. Being sober fucking sucks.
What helped me was realizing that cravings were actually the onset of nicotine withdrawals. Smoking due to cravings just removed the withdrawal. I wasn’t getting anything more from smokingremoved, just pushing withdrawal away.
I quit with the nicotine pouches. If it’s any consolation to you I tried smoking again and found it pretty gross so it gets better with time.
Thanks, but I figure I’d just be better off zero nicotine. I don’t want to trade one addiction for another.
As I said I used it to stop smoking then just quit the pouches, it’s kinda like using a patch anyways 🤷♂️
Oh sorry misread that. Yeah I’m just afraid though I’d get addicted to the pouch. With the patch you step down after a week to a lower dose so it’s supposed to make quitting easier. Plus I can get it for free through the quit line.
Ugh there’s nothing worse than being in that ‘sweet spot’ where you regain your taste and cigs start to be tasty again, you just gotta fight through it until they get gross again.
I have dreams sometimes of buying a pack of Lucky Strikes but they’re the old ones before the RJ Reynolds buyout that tasted like rust and dirt.
I hate the dreams so much, they’re so vivid and make you feel like you did smoke and your wanting one when you get up.
those never go away, you have to learn to cope with them. i’m chiefing on newports every time i dream and i haven’t had a port in over 5 years or so.
Haha those dreams where you’re smoking and wake up feeling guilty/relieved it’s not real mannn
I quit 3 months ago, easiest thing ever to do. Just get COVID
I quit by being in a place I wasn’t allowed to smoke for 9 months. Obviously that’s not something everyone can do. But isolating yourself somewhere you can’t acquire any nicotine products will force you into going past withdrawal. I’ve heard of people going camping during a 3-day weekend and just not bringing any product with them. Even better if someone can drop you off and pick you up so you don’t get tempted to buy anything in a nearby town.
