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
