I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

    If you’re not opposed to medications, bupropion (brand name zyban) helped me. My cravings lessened almost immediately. Nicotine also feels like it has little to no effect since I started, which was honestly kind of a bummer to find out when I fell off the wagon.

    I get medication isn’t for everyone, but just putting what worked for me out there. Funny enough, I didn’t even start taking it for smoking cessation. That’s just one thing Bupropion can be used to treat. It was a two birds one stone kinda situation.

      Chantix is what finally did it for me.

      medication isn’t for everyone

      Also as medications go, bupropion can be a doozy. If it works, it works, but the side effects suck and going off it isn’t pleasant either.

        Yeah definitely. I read so many horror stories on reddit when i first started a year or so ago. Fortunately nothing negative for me so far.
