Share your quitting journey
Everyone who knows anything about quitting smoking will say the first 2-3 weeks are when most people experience the strongest withdrawal symptoms of their quit.
The title implies you've made a choice one way or the other as to whether to replace the nicotine.
If you replace the nicotine, you will experience the emotional withdrawal but not necessarily the physical as you are using nicotine replacement.
So what happens when you use an NRT and you stop using it?
You may likely experience some of the symptoms of physical withdrawal. If you lowered your dose to nothing before you stopped using the NRT you may eliminate most of the withdrawal symptoms.
So, how will you deal without nicotine?
You've come a ways toward the realization that you don't need to smoke just because you think of smoking. You have that power. Once you understand you don''t need to smoke just because you smoked in a similar situation in the past, smoking is not required like you believed it was.
So, yes, you've come a way and gained some ground.
If you experience some physical withdrawal after stopping the NRT, accept it. This freedom doesn't come free.
you know you can do it now The only way out is through.
