thank you, i like your advice, and you are probably right. but it's so difficult if you are feeling you don't have firm ground to stand on

my boyfriend broke up with me today, he is a mean narcissist who wants to trample my confidence already 4 years like this, him just abandoning me every other week this ofcourse a huge trigger for smoking i dont know if its the right time to quit its al so depressing

NO

Hi everyone, I quit smoking a long time ago, but for several years I am addicted tot Nicotinell lozenges. I never heard about anyone else who is or was in that situation and I wonder if someone here has any experience with it. I really feel ashamed! I cannot find anywhere that it has any long term health risks, does anyone know about this? The reason to quit I would say is mainly financially. It costs me more than 1000 euros a year! But I am really really really addicted and there was nothing holding me back continously popping a nicotinell so my exposure to nicotine might be even higher than a heavy smoker so I have severe withdrawal symptoms which I try to taper with some nicotine patches. I have suffered a lot of depression and anxiety and nicotine was like a crutch to me, and including my smoking period I think I am addicted to nicotine for 27 years or so (how did I get here??) I feel so much craving and also so much anxiety and irritability, I am suffering so much and somehow feel so lonely I really hope someone has some advice for me and can help me get through this
