Old Nic is kicking me this morning, and its pretty tough. It is tiring me mentally to be honest.

Hang on in there, it will improve soon I'm sure!

Don't let the feelings overwhelm you, distract yourself and you can get through it.

All the best

Nic (see Nic isn't always kicking you)

u can do it

hiya you was using nrt and you just have to get used to the fact that you aint using anything after 3 weeks it gets much easy, it maybe sooner for you as everybody is different just hang on in there you can do it just like i did. im still fight the nic demon away now and again but it does get easier.

First Congrats on 1 month+ Its going to exhaust you mentally but you went this far and the nic is pretty well gone out of your system,so it will get better if you could hang on.....

stick with it...:D

It is an exhausting challenge - the longer you smoked the more mentally challenging it can be...I think!!

And it can remain a challenge for some long time - if you are unlucky BUT you can do it and it will be worth it albeit you're probably doubting that now...;)

I found drinking lots of water and fruit juices helped as well as walking out in fresh air especially those times when I thought I was totally losing the plot!!! and getting lots of sleep - easier said then done sometimes I know:( (I used herbal sleeping tablets...)

Good luck, it will get easier with time...
