I had a cold so I had to quit smoking for a bit. I'm now on day 3.

This is the only addiction where the respected withdrawal method is to pump yourself full with exactly the stuff you're addicted to. idk how smart that is. I smoked an average of 10 cigarettes a day... now I chew an average of 10 nicotine gums a day, which by feeling tingly and slightly disoriented I can tell is way more nicotine than I used to inhale... and it's not the same.
It helps in the way that when you want a cigarette, and you take a gum, you don't really want a cigarette anymore but just because you'd know you'd drop face first on the floor if you took any more nicotine.
But it's like I imagine it to feel when you're on total parental nutrition... strangely unsatisfying.

I'm running out of gum... thinking about trying those inhalers because it's the ritual that I think I'm missing the most.
Anyone ever tried those?
