Unfortunately I can relate @Kdad. I had the same problem when I relapsed back in 2018. I couldn't seem to make another quit stick. I think my problem was cold turkey symptoms. I successfully quit cold turkey the first time around but had a medical reason why I absolutely had to stay quit. I toughed it out but hated every minute of it, along with giving everyone I knew a pretty instense show. I'm sure that my meltdowns made them wonder who the hell I was. This time, after trying everything else, I gave the nicotine patch a try. I really didn't think it would help because nothing else did. But, it did help! I was flabbergasted that I had almost no withdrawal symptoms. I still had smoking thoughts but without the depression, anger issues, unsatiable appetite, and sleeping issues, I was able to power through. I think the main thing is to not stop trying. And try different methods. We're all different so what works for one may not work for another. I truly hope that you find your way back to a smoke free life. You and I both know that it's so much better!
