Hiya,

Wow 13 years is impressive, do you still battle urges or does it not come into your mind any more?

You have raised a really interesting point I had never thought of before, getting addicted to NRT. A year is a long time, what has given you the urge to cut that down now?

I know and understand that cigs cause illness like heart disease and cancer but my understanding is that is down to all the rubbish that is in them.
Apart from being addictive does nicotine actually cause any health problems? I really never thought of that before.

Have you thought about trying Champix? Or something similar to that so you can loose the comfort of holding the ecig?... You smoke whilst taking these tablets then it causes your body to reject it. I was not allowed it because I'm high risk but the cessation nurse ranted about it being amasing. You have to get it on prescription.

I am seriously addicted to weed, it has felt like a best friend for so long and been my source of comfort throughout my mental health journey. I honestly was not expecting a physical response but I'm a mess.

I thought it was not meant to be addictive... But I'm sweating, shaking, head aches, dizzy, mind racing, dissociating worse than usual and loosing time, jittery, really sore teeth and gums. I think I have started to grind my teeth. I'm using the patches and quick mist spray (although still on my first spray not needed that much, I use it when I really can't cope with the craving.) as the spray is not that nice it is like a negative association for giving into the craving, like snapping an elastic band on your wrist. I wonder how much is down to weed and how much is down to tobacco???

You sound nervous about your planned cut back... I'm here for you xxxx
