Using the gum is doing nothing for you but extending the withdrawal. Its not giving you the nic that you think you need, you dont need it, it just causes frustration. Imagine not dosing yourself with poison for 3 days, thats 72 hours, then all the nicotine is out of your system. That doesnt mean that you wont still crave it sometimes, but it gets better after 3 days - you just have ti be brave enough to face those first few days of cold turkey. We all did it, and do it daily. Join us. Throw the gum out and post roll. Your day 1 begins when you commit to not use any nic, from any source. Get to quitting bro.
