Well I have had my addiction to nicotine for 7 years (chew and cigs). And the past 3 weeks or so I have been "clean". Here is how I have done it and it works, believe me.
Nicorette Gum: 168 peices @$50
7-6-5-4-3-2-1 peices a day respectively.
7 peices for 6 days
6 peices for 6 days
and keep dropping down.
It works out to exatcly 168 peices.
Things that help:
-chew gum for about 10 seconds then place between gumline and cheek. It lastes longer, and then by the end I am chewing it like regular gum.
-Use gum then pop in your favorite kind of gum to mix them both. Your mind will relate the new taste from your fav gum to nicotine. So when you are all done with the actual nicotine gum you mind thinks it is getting nicotine when y ou throw in your favorite gum.
-Change your Neuro-Association with nicotine! What you ask! Here was my old and new neuro associations:
Old: Nicotine=Less stress, relaxation.
New: Nicotine=Tons of $$$ (could be spent on aquaria, family, etc...), bad for my health, control by the nicotine alone, not very pleasant around others, waste of my time getting new packs or cans when I run out.
I have also associate smoking a cigerette to a "gag reflex". And I took a puff of one a couple of days ago, and actually almost did this.
Final note: Try your best to stay away from other people who smoke or chew. It might be hard for some, but you are way better off. AND DO NOT GIVE UP, IT IS VERY ATTAINABLE TO QUIT. JUST NEED DETERMINATION. I THOUGHT I NEVER COULD, THE AMOUNT I WOULD DO EVERYDAY WAS ALOT. AND WELL I FEEL FINE NOW.
I am on my last day of three peices, and I feel great, healthy and enegized. Also I recommend when you get this low in peices per day, to do one after lunch and dinner, "after dinner mint".
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
