Got nicotine gum tonight 4 mg. I set a date anyway even though I didn't want to as when I quit cold turkey three years ago I simply told myself when the packs were smoked I buy no more. That was my first quit and it lasted ten months. This time though I have ONE pack left in the freezer which will last me until Sunday night so it's gonna start Monday AM. I was so very, very sick and weak and hypoglycemic last time I am using NRT this time and picked the gum. I already know how to properly use the gum and the doc said one every two hours while awake.
I just want to know if anyone having used the gum could tell me of their experience with how much it helped or not helped those frantic lightening bolt cravings? Do you think the gum helped a little or moderate? I already know there is not any magical pill, gum or patch and am prepared for it but just wanted to know what others having used the gum thought about the reduction of that horrible urge. Face to face I know of only two having used the gum and both said it did help moderately IF they used it every two hours while awake for the first couple weeks. Thanks.
