So I'm trying something different this time in regards to quitting. I bought a pack of clove cigs off amazon, these are tobacco and nicotine free. Going to see how long I can go without nicotine and HOPEFULLY the clove cigs at least trick my brain into thinking I'm getting my nic fix. Three days is the threshold to pass for the chemical to leave your body and brain so maybe this will bridge the gap.
I have leftover patches and gum if the cravings get too severe and I need one for my mental health.
I don't know have any advice because what helps is very individual, but I'm now 2.5 years out from a nicotine addiction that I thought would probably eventually kill me. Sending you some good vibes comrade
Thanks for the well wishes
