Stories & experiences

So you do realize that you are still addicted to the nicotine . You just switched the method of injection. And it is not surprising that you are using more lozenges than ever, just as we smoked more over the years. We do have control however. Notice how most curb the addiction at one or two packs a day. Usually due to cost and we manage to maintain that level. You can do so also with some mindfulness. Try switching half with regular mints and wean your way down. Luckily nicotine is not as harmful as the tars and additives found in cigarettes, but as you say, the sugar substitutes are also harmful. It must cost a fortune to keep your current supply of lozenges on hand. Just like quitting smoking, the desire for change has to be there. You managed to quit smoking cigarettes, the hardest part of most journeys. In just 72 hours you are basically free of the nicotine in your system having the power it has had. The anxiety you feel when low on nicotine and the RELIEF that you feel once taking your FIX are the same feelings we face when quitting smoking cigarettes. When you realize it does nothing for you, but actually causes these negative feelings and insecurities, you realize that you can end the relentless cycle and be free. Lots of exercise will keep your body happy as well as your mind occupied. Positivity makes it easier. You can do this.

Thank you Happiness.
