No I haven’t tried the nic salts. I just told myself I won’t smoke for a week and as a reward I would have one cigarette. But by the end of the seven days I didn’t even want that one cig. The first three days were the hardest. And yes there were days I really wanted that cigarette but just had to find something else to distract myself.
I heard somewhere everytime you want a cigarette just tell yourself you’ll wait five minutes. Sometimes that didn’t work but a lot of times after you make it through that initial craving you’ll find it easier to say no. For me it was important I didn’t replace one bad habit with something else. I also told myself if you want to cheat then you have to do a hundred push ups first. And boy did I not want to do those push ups.
I tried cold Turkey three times before it really stuck. I think what really made me change was when I had kids. I just don’t want to be sick. I wanted to give myself the best shot of being around for them.
Did you ever try nic salts? I tried regular juice in the past but it didn't work.
