Just one thought for you to ponder...
any form of nicotine...feeds the addiction...
keeps the craves there, and prolongs withdrawal from the nicotine.
I had trouble sleeping when I tried to quit with the patch as well Phil. I couldn't use it...but that's just me, many here are very successful using the patch.
Read, read, read the posts...past and present...get educated about this addiciton.
I smoked over 30+ years...with a Cold-Turkey Quit in the middle that lasted 10 years. I've tried almost everything mentioned on this site except...Laser therapy, and the new auricoltherapy )mentioned in a recent post). Chantix is what I am using now and it is working great.
Because of my successful quit...way back when, I know what one drag or one cigarett can do to increase craving and prolong withdrawal.
Good luck new members
