Oh, and for what it's worth..
I am nicotine free for 71 days.
This is a difficult thing to do. Nicotine may be one of the most addictive substances on the planet.
Nicotine, a plant evolved insecticide still used by man for that purpose is chemically similar to acetylcholine which is an important neurotransmitter in our brain. In fact the presence of so much nicotine in our blood caused our brains to change their biochemistry quite a bit and actually made them GROW lots of extra nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Thats why even 72 hours when all nicotine and nearly all its metabiolites are gone from our bodies we can still crave. Also this is why 4 weeks in or even 10 weeks in we can still crave.
The terrible fact of the matter is we have trained our bodies to receive more dopamine and nor epinephrine more easily that they should.
Dopamine is a pleasure brain chemical (along with lots of other things).
In a way we mortgaged our future peace of mind by using nicotine to take a loan out against it.
Now you and I are paying back that loan.
It sucks.
But we can do it. If there is any way i can help you, I will be glad to PM you my phone number. If you kicked alcohol you can likely kick this too though
I imagine you may already know all this I just typed, but it helps me all the same to say it one more time.
In the times the goober brain chemistry stuff is not enough reading about the life of Bryan Lee Curtis can help.
good luck!
