Hi

Am trying to quit.
Mid december 09 - 6 days - gum and microtabs - camping in semi isolated area - started again xmas eve at smoking family gathering

Mid Jan 10 - 8 days - patches - at home - started again after stressful appointment, and stopping patches on day 6.

Yesterday - no nicotine replacement, ~ 17mg of valium, still had 3 cigs, and a torturous morning til 1st @ 1200, torturous avo til 2nd @ 1730, and one at 2130 so as not to torture myself before bed. Today - one @ 730, about a half hour after waking which is 20 minutes longer than usual. Really do not like torture.

Suggestions? I know nicotine replacement reduces the torture but I want to clear my system of nicotine ie. get rid of the addiction. Once and for all.

Thank you

Hello, eleorc@. You cannot just get rid of the addiction if using nicotine gums and patches. It is a well known fact that they contain nicotine, but the onyl and most significant difference is the form of its intake. However, what is more disturbing, is the fact that nicotine addiction remains and even deepens, so if you really want to detoxificate your organism you have to face all the strong cravings yourself or use some proven to work herbal products: niconot.com/?id=a88db1

Here I have listed some of the nicotine gums' side effects:
