Addicted to lozenge...

I gave up smoking about 5 years ago. Unfortunately I gave up using nicabate 4 mg mini lozenges, and since then have been addicted to the lozenges. Wasn't an issue till a couple of months ago when nicabate had a huge product recall and the product has since not been available. Well lucky for me that nicorette also sold a lozenge type product that I happily substituted. Well for some reason nicorette now have no stock on the shelves in my town. I have had no lozenges since Saturday, today is Tuesday. I have had about 6 cigarettes off a friend just to get by. I don't want to smoke again, but I don't like gum or patches. And since I've stopped with the lozenges I just feel an absolute mess. The cravings are overwhelming. I feel paralysed and frozen in time. I can't move or do anything and time is ticking by slowly. I've had the shakes, the sweats, anxiety and anger. And most of all I hate it that I am so weak to have let these products and cigarettes into my life in the first place. I'm tired of being a slave to them, but the withdrawal is just so bloody hard. I don't know what's going to happen. I wish I had a lawyer to sue these companies for getting me addicted to their product and then taking them away.
