Nicotine withdrawal only lasts 72 hours. Everything else is psychological. All nicotine gum does is prolong your physical addiction to nicotine. Bite the bullet and go cold turkey.
Not drinking or doing drugs will help - those were always my trigger situations and I'd instantly cave. If you stay sober for a couple of weeks and exercise your will power you will succeed.
I went for a run if I was really desperate for a cig, even at night. It helped massively.
I'll quit cold turkey then if it's really better after only 72 hours, I can sweat that out. I just heard people say before that the physical part can last a month or more, and one woman told me that the physical withdrawal can last numerous months. I guess they were wrong. Thank God. That's what made it so difficult to quit, me believing that I have months of it ahead of me. But me quitting on the mindset that it would be rough for only 3 days, that'll make it much easier
It will be rough for longer than 3 days, for sure. I'm afraid it's true that it will be hard for months. But you will not suffer from physical withdrawal symptoms for longer than 3 days, I promise you that.
Questions for my fellow smokers, nicotine gum?
