Am I fortifying the quit or elongating the withdraw period by using 2mg nicotine gum? I am not 5 days in, reduced need to chew the gum, symptoms remaining are lethargy & easily irritated. Statistically it seems only 5% of 'cold turkey' quits last a year, using a NRT can double your success rate. You know, I cant beat myself up over the gum cause I feel so much better physically without the other 150 ingredients a cig puts in my body
Congratulations on quitting smoking. Using NRT's are perfectly fine. Come to this site often and get the support. For most of us who stayed quit this site was one of the big reasons. It takes extended support to be successful for many.
